I DO keep a small extiquisher on my working M,tell ya why!I was putting some gas from a plastic 5 gallon can in the tank,the screw on cap and filler thingy was leaking slightly but not enough to cause a problem with major spillage.The can emptied and I wiped up the little that spilled,or so I thought.I started up the old M and for some strange reason,it shut off and shot a flame out of the muffler and I guess it was just fumes in the air but my ole M lit up like the forth of July.I was fortunate that I had a garden hose close by or it could have been worse.Now,I make dang sure the gas goes in the tank and what spills gets wiped up and what I cant see,I find!
