Label from my fuel transfer tank. Thank God that diesel fuel is not a flammable fluid. Thought I was in trouble there for a minute. (See words under Fluid Transfer Tank).

I'm pretty sure I coined the phrase about some woman I knew.

"They have had more pricks in them than a dog chasing a porcupine!"
Way back in the day I heard,, If she had as many sticking out and she has sticking, she would be a porcupine

Nothing better than wiener water soup which was our code name for these when in mixed company, some folks just can't keep quiet. Takes a special kind of fly to catch them. ;)
Just like catching,,,, I was going to say crabs but I know somebody would comment on it ,,,, other crustacean just need a bigger trap, and boat and money and you know stuff

Diesel is combustible but not flammable per NFPA definitions, despite flammable and combustible being synonymous in non-technical speech. Gasoline is flammable per NFPA definitions. So your fuel tank is rated for diesel but not gasoline.

The practical issue for fuel storage is gasoline’s flash point (the temperature at which it off gasses) is low enough the vapors are a routine issue. Diesel’s flash point is high enough the vapors aren’t a practical issue. IMG_0349.png
