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.

nearest boat;^}- or maybe raise a sail for the last bit...

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.
