Post Re: Was it karma? or "Why Glass Fuel Filters Suck"

Agreed ;

It's very dangerous stuff , gasoline is .

VW's catch fire because of either the rubber fuel hose rotting & leaking fuel onto the distributor or because the brass nipple slips out of the carby inlet with the same results .

In both cases, it takes the spark to ignite the leaking gasoline .

In years past , drill bits were hand sharpened on a grinding wheel then quenched in a cup of gasolne as the quenching of gasoline worked better than water at retaining the hardness of the hot drill bit .
