Possibly not. I was assuming a fire hazard. The code deals with ignition sources and separation in a classified location. The fuel is assumed. I suppose if I got them all greasy like Don does, then a fire hazard may exist. But they stay pretty clean. They may get a drop or two of oil when oil gets changed, but that's about it. I doubt they're any more flammable than the rugs in the house. John, my comment was in response to an earlier description you posted about the carpets in your garage where you implied that they were full of grease and oil. My concern was about parking a car with a hot catalytic converter (and they *do* get hot) on a greasy, oil laden carpet. If it's just a few drops of oil, there's probably no problem. Yup, I went back and read my initial comments and could see where one might think the carpets were oil saturated. No, they're fairly clean. When they get bad, they get replaced. Last time I had two orientals in there - both from a trash pile when someone was moving. They had a few stains, but nothing my garage couldn't handle. When these get bad enough, I'll buy some cheap carpetting at Home Depot. Something like this will do both sides for about $120. Well worth it. http://tinyurl.com/l384z45 |
