I have to replace my elbows and shut off valves on my fuel tanks (gas) of

boat. some of the connectors have gotten rusty and clogged with debris.
Is there any risk of explosion from unscrewing the hoses and pipes. I am
trying to avoid having to dump $500 worth of fuel. I don't want to end up
in the next county either.....
Thanks

I doubt there is any significant risk. Most boat fuel tanks and
fittings are not made from sparking materials, anyway.


You doubt it??? Gene, do you know where Jeff keeps his boat? And, do you
own a video camera? If yes to both questions, I'm shocked that you'd stoop
so low, just to sell the footage to one of the TV news organizations. Get a
job.
