My neighbor's 20 minute warning about storing gas cans near the fence line
I was out back last Saturday stacking my gas cans against the wood fence when my neighbor Rick walked over and asked if I wanted to keep my garage attached to my house. He said his brother in Bakersfield lost a fence and a good chunk of siding 3 months ago when fumes from a can sitting in the sun found a water heater pilot light. I had no clue vapor could travel that far along the ground and pool up somewhere inside. Now the cans live in a little plastic bin 15 feet from anything that sparks, on a concrete pad. Where do you all keep your fuel and propane, and did anyone warn you the same way?
