When covering a gas tank, you might need a fire extingusher.

[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 200322, member: 5684"] My two cents worth...its all I have after starting my mod. I am a firefighter, and while common sense prevails, I figured I would just add some info on fire extinguishers. First rule: PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep. Second rule: Have the right extinguisher for the job. We are talking about petroleum products here, so a class B extinguisher is a must. These are usually foam or dry chemical, designed to remove the oxygen from the fire by smothering. CO2 extinguishers are ok, but only remove heat...usually not enough to put out a good fuel fire. Third rule: Don't hang out! Extinguishers are truly designed for escaping danger. While you may get your fire out with one, always call for help. I have been in a lot of burning buildings, and actually on one burning boat (thankfully I was at the firehouse!). Not being a stickler, just want everyone to have a safe and fun season!!!! [/QUOTE]
