I used to swim in raw sewage when I was a kid, they
told me it was a river, I knew it stunk, but never asked why.
People today worry too much about everything.
1 guy on the news has a freak accident and everyone gets scared.
Keep on doin' it like your used to!

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Extra gas
Any opinions about my practice of carrying an extra gallon of
gas in
the trunk, in one of those red hard plastic containers?
I
know it's possible to explode the gas in the tank by having a
static
electric charge on yurself when you go to handle the fill
pipe at the gas
station. What about static electricity building up
in the container in the
trunk?
If you can build up static electricity by sliding around on
a
cloth-covered car seat, or running a comb thru your hair, why
couldnt
it build up inside the container? (I know next to nothing
about
electricity.)
PS I've been carrying extra gas, either in the trunk or
on the bed
of a pickup truck, for 30 years, and am still alive to write
this.
However . . .
