:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: No, I happen to have had the emergency can sitting in my garage from the first time I ran out of gas. Being only about a mile from home, I was able to walk there, get the can, walk back to the car... this does make me sound pretty ... strange?
I have no idea. He was inside, I guess, and just came out to tell me that the gas had burned him as he drained the tank. He wanted to know what kind I had used, and I told him, "Valero Premium, 93 octane".

I carry spare gas with me all the time. in my defense my fuel gauge could break any minute and my odometer doesn't work. I also carry it in case when I go on drives and other older cars need gas due to a bad or flaky gauge . Plus I can only make it 150 per tank. and on some of these drive with chuck I need to make sure I have enough gas. I am going to install a right side fuel tank on my car. Once that is done no more extra gas for me.
After reading all of the above, you would think that a mechanic might know the dangers of getting splashed by gasoline, but I guess not. I'm just happy that he DID know how to fix my car...lol
Jason I hope you carry that gas in an approved explosion proof container & not a regular can. I hate to think of what could happen in a crash. In fact it creeps me out to haul gas back from the Get Go station. There is such a can. It is filled with a metal mesh. Do a google search & you may find it.
Everyone makes their own choices. That one scares the carp outta me. YMMV. Hope this is never any of you guys> :mad5:
Jason.... Was this the mini mod you were hinting at that was going to make you faster and be able to keep up with us?
this mod will let me keep up with you on the freeway without blowing my motor. My Mini can handle 75 - 80 for long periods but above that I think it will blow. I can go faster, like 90 but I don't want to keep it there for to long. So since I want to do drive with you guys and you have, lets say spirited drives. I needed to do something about that. Plus I drive my Mini every where I can. I have taken it to Tennessee twice, and I am going back next Spring. I also want to drive it to the Spring fling sometime. That is in Florida. Mini Meet East is in Canada next year and I want to drive it there also. I am not the trailer kind of guy.
So, I'm guessing there are: 1) No speed limits in Ohio 2) No law enforcement in Ohio 3) MoM's are all rich and just pay the tickets. :confused5: Jim
Jason..... But get rid of the gas can and get that second tank installed for those 90 "spirited runs". I don't like the moniker "Fireball Jason"....:ihih:
I have it figured out. You're going to put some 22 inch dubs on there to change the final drive ratio. Those things are going to be flamin hot I tell ya!
