You shouldn't really be afraid of gasoline - it's a very predicatble thing. Did you know that only gas fumes are flammable, not the liquid? So, if you were so inclined, you could scubadive in tank full of gasoline and light an underwater flare and not be in any danger. just don't, you know, come up to the top with it. speaking of leaking gas caps - is the seal inside the cap a purchase-able thing, or should I just get a sheet of petrol-resistant rubber and cut my own?
