Traveling with refrigerator on gas???
I've traveled with the refrigerator running on gas for years but recently heard it is against the law to do that. I was just wondering how many do it. Thanks,

One more thing to think about:
Your vehicle is parked right next to the gas pump, you spill fuel. What do you do next? You start your vehicle and move it. In the process of starting your vehicle you energize a non-vapor sealed starter solenoid that creates sparks, you then cause a non-vapor sealed starter motor to spin causing a significant amount of sparks, the engine then begins to run and if distributor equipped a non-vapor sealed distributor cap and rotor begin creating sparks, then the non-vapor sealed alternator begins creating sparks.
With all these open air spark events taking place on a gasoline engine while cranking and running (and not blowing up) I rather doubt the tiny non-vapor sealed flame on my refrigerator will ignite those same fumes 40' away.
