[Rhodes22-list] Gas fumes in Rummy's lazzerett

[John Tonjes]

Michael,
This is really getting old, but I attempt to reply to some of your concerns.
1. NOT all tanks leak.........possibly yours, but not mine.
2. I fill my tank with a smaller 2 1/2 gallon tank and I use a long neck
funnel.......not even a drop gets spilled.
3. Tohatsu fuel line connections don't mysteriously come off....it takes a
lot of effort to remove one.
4. No wind, then you must be motoring....creating wind. Sitting
still....close the vent idiot.
5. The lazzerette in MY boat is a sealed compartment. Nothing can migrate
from the lazzerette into the cabin. Don't believe me....come have a look
see. 
6. I don't like the idea of having gas tanks in the crew area. To many
chances for damage and spillage.
7. The only electrical connections in the lazzerette are the speaker
wires.......soldered in place.

If you don't like the motor discussion, do like I do when something comes
up I don't like....delete it, but don't try to set the standards and the
topics up for discussion. Yes, even your comical sensorship of some of my
posts.

Rummy
