A friend told me yesterday while he was getting gas a woman had a double
layer of the plastic grocery bags and was filling it up with gas at a
pump. She tied it up and put it in the trunk of her car. He could not
see if she set it in a bucket or box. I hope she made it home safe.

Your friend must not be alone. Just heard on the radio that some govt.
national safety agency warned a couple days ago against carrying
gasoline in plastic bags.


When I was in high school I was doing something to the lawn mower,
trying to clean small parts maybe, and I soaked them in gasoline in a
little plastic dish that frozen? food had come in, and after 30 or 60
minutes, the dish started to turn into a puddle. Not at all sure, but I
don't think they use that kind of plastic much anymore.
