Insist on women for what? Having sex with your boyfriends?

You need a spark to set the fluid on fire.

actually, ghanse, when speaking of risk it MUST be compared to other risks to
have any meaning at all. sailing a gasoline powered boat gives the sailor a
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR greater chance of dying of skin cancer than dying of a
fuel related accident.

In fact, sailing a diesel powered boat gives the sailor a FAAAAAAR greater
chance of setting his eninge room on fire (due to an overheated engine. an
overheated gas engine quits, an overheated diesel will keep on overheating
everything in sight for a looooooooong time).

You are welcome to search the CG records for the last two or three decades to
see if you can find even one incident of a fatality on a sailboat caused by a
gas engine. if you include gas powerboats, you will find the fatality rate is
about 1% of the rate of deaths caused by falling overboard. Even then the
number of deaths per year total is less than the number of murders in
Washington DC. Do you stay out of the capital because you are frightened of
getting killed? If you did, your family would drag you to see a shrink. Yet,
you are indeed terrified by gasoline.

How about kayaks? Do you own a kayak? Would you paddle one around if someone
gave you one? Well, kayaking is far and away the most dangerous form of
boating.

Happy paddling.

no. fluid you will not set on fire. vapor you set on fire, and all you need
to do that is a temp greater than the vapor's ignition temp.

horvath, diesel engines have no spark, yet a diesel engine sets the "fluid"on
fire every power stroke of every cylinder. It is the temperature you need, not
the spark.
