    Most people I know (myself included) fill their small engines without waiting 10 or 20 minutes. They want to keep on working without taking a fairly long break.

    Do you think commercial mowing companies wait 10 to 20 minutes before refilling gas tanks?

    I worked with a guy years ago that smoked all the time while gassing up lawn mowers. I've been told over the years that cigarettes don't burn hot enough to ignite gas, but it is still a really stupid thing to do.

    My generator has a removable tank--shut off a valve, pop a quick-connect fitting, take out 2 mounting studs and loosen 2 others and you can carry it a bit away for refilling.

    Reminds me of the old joke.
    How do you make a Cat go Woof!
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.


    Every silver lining has a cloud around it
