Hey all,
Dramatic title, I know. ;)
Question - Where I have been riding there is only an open pavilion area for loading/unloading-parking while riding. The temps here in East Texas have been in the 100s - with full sun - lately. I'm a little concerned with leaving the gas canisters out in the bed of the pickup full of 2-stroke fuel. I keep waiting for the distant explosions as I'm riding. :0
Yet I don't want to lock them up in the cab of the truck as the fumes would be obnoxious on the way home. There is literally no shade areas for several hundred feet.
Is there, as far as anyone knows, any danger of detonation of the fuel cans in that heat/sun? Anyone ever had any issues with this?
On a side note ... in our state they banned the "good" gas cans - the ones with normal spout and vents. We are having to buy and use the new fangled type - no vent and pressure activated spouts - man, I really prefer the old type! Any of you having to deal with the same issue or is Texas the only state to go this route?
Thanks!
Daf
