On that note, the HSE quote a very nasty accident where a mechanic was draining some petrol from the tank of a car over a pit, into a bucket.
A spark from a faulty inspection lamp fired off the petrol vapour that was sitting in the pit and the mechanic was unable to exit the pit as the car
was parked over it, consequently he was burnt to death in there, to the horror of several members of the public present at the time.
Not nice.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

That's because petrol fumes are heavier than air. It happened to my neighbour's son 30 years ago, not fatally thankfully but he was badly
disfigured and had years of skin grafts. Alan was in a pit and a spark set the fumes alight, he got out of the pit and ran for the door and no-one
could catch him to put him out till he fell down.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
