Hose leakage is a major player in all this.  I was once driving along,
watching my fuel gauge drop, wondering what the problem was.  I pulled into a
parking lot and smelled gas.  Lifted the rear lid and found that the idiot
who worked on my engine last left the fuel hose clamps untightened.  Fuel
shooting out from 3 places.  Left a puddle on the pavement.  I am so glad
that no fire resulted from this.

Beware!!!!!!!
