Dear Members,
I recently had a co-worker almost kill himself with a 1 gal gas can.
He kept gas in his garage like all of us, but failed to have proper ventilation and a fie extinguisher.
I don't know the details on the fire but a fire extinguisher would have controlled the fire.
Check out this video to open your eyes.
Stay safe,

thanks, i will definetly get a fire extinguisher for gas and for battery fires!!!
 
So lets clear things up . Make sure the fuel lines and tank in you RC doesn't leak . Make sure your fuel can doesn't leak . Use a funnel and don't over fill your fuel tank . If you over fill the tank clean it up first before starting the damn thing. Don't fill the RC in the back of your car or truck . Only on the ground so you know that everything is grounded and there will be no static spark to ignite the fumes. Wipe up spills. It's nice to have a fire extinguisher but you don't have to have one to run these things.

And yes I have a fire extinguisher but it's in the kitchen where the odds of a fire are higher .
