Slow week? Time for a sky is falling thread?
For those that turn off the gas while getting gas, you turn off the ignition system as well, and the hot water tank? Turning the gas valve itself isn't going to stop the fridge or hot water tank from trying to ignite. You turn these off too every time, right, right?
You make your safety stop well before entering the station to take these measures, since how do you know gasoline vapors aren't already present? How far do you get from the station before considering it "safe" to turn on the gas, and re engage the ignition systems, every time?
my BS detector is a little raw today I guess.
