<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#0000ff>I inferred similar after
reading the group of posts with reference to have to change to metal cans by one
distributor due to a fire. Instead of addressing who and why the fire was
allowed to start in first place they also go after what helped contribute to a
bigger fire. Next the will legislate no fire allowed when the wind is blowing as
that causes bigger fires. Just Kidding about legislating wind but the officials
looking out for the masses also get my dander up.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I really appreciate Earl's pointing
this out. It's something that I hadn't considered and I do carry a loose gel
cell battery that I use with my starter. The terminals on top could easily
touch a fuel can. If I ever use metal fuel cans I'll keep this in
mind.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm also against too much governmental
interference, but I didn't read that into Earl's message at all.</FONT></DIV>
