[V8] FP Precautions

[Ingo Rautenberg]

What, no nomex flame suit?  Lol.  The fuel itself isn't the problem.   
It's the vapors.  It really amazed me when I first looked at those  
bare wire leads at  the pump under all that fuel.

Oh, yeah.  Remember to FIRST disonnect the battery before doing  
ANYTHING!!!
