[DML] Re: Warm-up Regulator?

[dherv10@xxxx]

Kevin, I'm not trying to make a mechanic out of you. But I have been 
working on cars like a lot of us out here, and I have never included 
a fire extguisher as part of my tool kit. Yes, I have a couple in the 
house and at the office. But, If you handle gas with respect and read 
a little about what you want to do in the workshop manuel and don't 
do something dum like smoking around the gas, then it will be no more 
of a problem than filling up your gas tank in the car with gas. Did 
you know that metal to metal can make a spark to ignite gas, but when 
was the last time you heard of someone blowing up a service station 
when getting a fill up.To many people throw around fire, fire, fire a 
lot to scare people.
