vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

_You_ may be fine with this. _You_ may be clever enough to avoid
immolation.

I recommmend against recommending it publicly.

All the theories about triangles are great. If one leg is altered the
result ids disaster.

The safer mewthods are so eesy. Y bother?

Peepul make mistakes.

It'll be fine. Remember the fire triangle. You have to have fuel, oxygen,
and heat all come together at the same time in the same location. The
plug is under liquid gasoline, so oxygen is missing from the fire triangle.
Some of the gas will boil, raising the vapor pressure in the tank. But it
will be below ignition temperature when it finds the vent. You will have
a flamable mixture just outside the vent, make sure you don't throw any
sparks that way. (You might want to run a hose from the vent to some
point downwind of your activities.)
