Stove alcohol - how dangerous?
What size and type of boat do you have, Steve?
Chuck Steve Lusardi wrote: Rodger, Fire is the biggest risk in boating, very few events can be more catastrophic than a fire on board a boat. All heat sources represent some risk, but volatile hydrocarbons represent the greatest risks. I will not carry gasoline, LP gas, CNG or alcohol. I carry only diesel and everything on the boat is electric. I think diesel electric represents the lowest risk. You may choose differently. Diesel electric solutions are not only the safest, but they also offer low weight, simplicity, ease of use and the smallest consumption of space. Steve "Roger Long" wrote in message ... I can't recall seeing anything definitive on this topic. If that bottle of stove alcohol in your cockpit locker leaks and drains into the bilge, how much danger is there of explosion or fire? -- Roger Long |
