Default Flying from North America to Hawaii

Actually, from some recent blurbs I've read, filling a small gas can with
poor ground can lead to BAD results. Always set the container on the ground
surface rather than, say, on a tailgate. Supposedly this cuts down on static
spark possibilities. I can't speak as to the truth here, but am uninclined
to experiment.

Now let's hear from the flame artists, telling me why it's impossible.



Not impossible, but siphoning fuel without good ground might be a problem.
