Default portable gas tank fume


"s o" wrote in message

hi all,

I had some gasoline left over in one of my spare tanks (6-gallon,
metal). I can smell the strong fume from it (it has no hose attached
to it now, just the fitting). do I need to get some kind of plug to
plug it? or should I just empty it ? thanks.

Those are not fumes but dangerous flammable vapors. Ventilate the area,
disconnect the tank, and get if off the boat pronto.
