Considering that they still can't make natural gas service safe, I
certainly wouldn't want to consider yet another killer fuel piped into
unsuspecting people's homes. Seems I've seen a report of a residential
gas explosion with fatalities every few days lately.- Hide quoted text -

Some old flex lines used to connect stoves are known now to not last
forever and have caused major leaks, Chicago banned that type years
ago. People used them for water heaters and who knows. Many houses
never see a maintenance man to check anything. CO detectors have saved
lives, Ng detectors are a good idea. Not unknown is having a car catch
fire when refilling gasolene in winter from static electricity. I just
fell on the ice last night, maybe I should never go out again, naw I
just found all my sheet metal screws and screwed them into my boots,
it worked great.
