Gas & Bulbs Dont Mix

Gas and light bulbs don’t mix. Huh? That seems like the dunce statement of the year. At least that’s what I thought until I read about the odd but very possible accident that happened last week at Don’s Auto Repair in Deland, Florida. A mechanic there was replacing a fuel tank, presumably using an old school incandescent work light. Some fuel dripped from the tank onto the bulb and sparked a fire that caused massive damage to the repair shop.Accidents happen, but anything we can do to avoid danger is a must. You should be sure your work area is designed and maintained with fire safety in mind. This accidental fire could have been avoided if they had been using newer fluorescent work lights which produce very little heat. News source: About Auto Repair
