Propane And Gasoline

[DECK SWABBER 58]

I find it interesting that as we get older we seem to gain more common sense.

It was time to fill both the 5 gal. lawn mower gas can and the grill tank. I had the gas can in the back of the truck and was about to load the grill tank.

I work in a college town, it suddenly occurred to me that I was going to drive through town and then 5 miles out into the country where we live with a teenager on my bumper, texting on their phone with way too much flammable material in my back seat.

I think I'll do one at a time! :facepalm:

That's why you should mount them on your bumpers, with a sparkler burning to the side of it.

They just might see that and steer clear.


No, my bad, have the fuel delivered.

I drive a tanker truck.

What's the problem.

Re: Propane And Gasoline

You are worried about getting rear ended? Why would it be any safer to do one at a time?

You do have a point there. If your going to go up in a ball of flame might as well do it right.

After watching Myth Buster's, I have respect for the flammability, but less concern about them blowing up from an accident. Just follow practical filling... oh, and use a "load bar" to secure them in the back of the truck.

To me you are basically increasing the time you are driving with a flammable cargo by 2.
