[Rhodes22-list] Reintroduction - Now gas tank in laz

[Michael D. Weisner]

It depends on how far away from here you sail your Rhodes ...

Basically, fuel vapors that accumulate can be fairly explosive.  Since the 
laz is not ventilated, it is not a great place to store gasoline.  I have 
always stored a 6 gal tank under the cockpit seat without a problem where at 
least the fumes (lighter than air) would not be trapped.

BTW, where do you store your propane (heavier than air)?  Please do not 
store it in the cabin.

Where do you sail,again?
