Evidently not. Who knew?

"A man using a vacuum cleaner to suck gasoline out of a vehicle was burned
and his house damaged when the fuel exploded, the Albuquerque Fire
Department said."

Sadly, there's probably a lawyer at his door offering to handle his lawsuit
against the makers of such an unsafe device...


I would say there very likely more than one. Lawyers dream of such cases
because of the amount of wealth they can transfer to themselves.
