I just loce it anytime open flames and fuel supply work are mentioned in 
the same time segment.  I can just see someone under their car... "dang, 
this plastic line won't come off... wait, I remember reading a guy 
saying to use a cigarette lighter... bet a propane torch would work 
better..."

What can I say?  Last night I was pushing parts cars around with a plow 
truck with no brakes... hope Marc's neck is ok...
