Gasoline Vapor

[BrendellaJet]

I filled up late saturday night, thinking I was going to make a test run to Elsinore to try out my new ignition. I decided that since their were so many dead fish that I would wait a week. Question: The garage smells a little bit like gas fumes, any fear of them igniting from the water heater? I dont want my boat or my house going up in flames.

I wouldn't worry too much about a fire, I would worry more about an explosion. eek!

OPEN IT MANUALLY WITHOUT THE AUTO DOOR OPENER. DON'T TURN ON THE LIGHTS. GET MY DRIFT? NOTHING ELECTRIC!
I LIKE ALL CAPS....

Gasoline fumes can be ignited up to 25' away from the vapor source. If you can smell it, it will burn. Do your family a favor and air that sucker out. DO NOT use a fan. Just be sure to ensure that there are no known ignition sources that could light this mix up.
Be careful out there,
