For Ed Anderson:
Ed, would you please expand on the fire you had while pouring from cans?
I'll have to re-read that recent Sport Av article as well.  What troubles me
is that I have been using auto gas both summer and winter off and on for 17
years. Why have I not had a problem? If I knew the conditions that were most
conducive to a spark I'd be pleased to avoid them.

Are you flying a metal or composite plane?
Do you know the temp and rel humidity?
Was it before or immediately after a flight?

Many thanks for more data.
