    Do you recall how much you paid for the box? Was it easy to install or did they install it?

    The big problem with gasoline is the fumes. Gas itself isn't that bad in liquid form. I remember when I was young I through a lit match in a small bucket of gas that was full and it just put the match out. If it did light up it was just a flame on top. Nothing big. BUT.....If the bucket was half full then there was a small nuclear flash that went off.

    I have a boat with an inboard motor on it. Before I can start it I must turn on the electric fan to blow out any fumes.

    I was next to a guy at a truckstop. I happened to be up around 2am when his homemade generator in a box started up and up in flames it went. I started my truck and pulled out into the middle of the lot. Then I got my fire extinguisher, woke him up and put the fire out. And by the way, that's right. IN THAT ORDER!!!

    Can't quite recall what I paid. Somewhere around $200. They sent it to me. I got a pair of brackets from a truck parts place near me and mounted it myself.
