Storing a battery near anything that's blue in color will make it

Damn that is the way silly rumors get started, it is only when it is near
a soft Columbian blue that you need to worry about it.

I get the feeling you don't take this seriously. But, as further proof of
the power of colors, I offer this: My 2002 Tacoma owner's manual says that
one way to know if you have the towing package is to look for the color mark
on the fan housing. Different fan clutch. I believe it's the orange mark
that's better for towing than the green one, although I may have that
backwards. They say you can change the assembly, but they don't tell you
that you can just go out there with some paint and change the colored mark.
Why?

Because they don't want you to know.

It is their way of ripping off the consumer
