It's the qualification "while driving" is what bothers me... so it's okay to have the vapors build up while the Van is sitting in the hot sun.. and then you come and start the thing and a electoral short in the radiator fan and...... Kaboom! also.. "the amount of fuel (~1 gallon) is very small" Ahhhh... I could be wrong, but I think Molitoff Cocktails were made in 1 liter wine bottles, no? :) Bill |
