CONCERNING GASOLENE.
It isas Safe as Water, But More
Dangerous Than Nitro
. Glycerine in Careless
Hands.
Owing to the very general and
increasing use of gasolene, l:he fol
lowing from an-expert, which ap
peared in the New York American,
is.timely :
"Properly handled, gasolene is as
safe as water-carelessly handled,
and nitro-glycerine is not one whit
less dangerous. Yet ther?'s many a
caa: owner "who couldn't be gotten
within gunshot of the nitro-glycerine
who is daily handling gasolin e in/ a
manner that may any moment trans
fer his residence from this mundane
sphere to one where the oil trust
abideth not-as far as we know.
.. "Most of us appreciate tha~ gaso
line in close proximity to a flame is
dangerous. But we do not realize
that gasoline used to-day m?iy ex
plode a day or so later. Gasoline is .
extremely volatile, the vapors which
so rapidly pass off are heavier than
afr. They . therefore hang to the
floor, often collecting in a uorner
under a table. Then a flame is
brought into proximity and the fire
department is kepftbusy.
"This vapor will slowly travel
ten, twenty or thirty feet, then en
counter a flame and float back like
a train of powder, igniting the fluid.
Result, "Big fire sale of automo
biles"
"Gasoline should not be handled
Tn open buckets, should not be
stored tn exposed tanks, and' its use
should be confined to either out
doors, or, if indoors, where there is
a good current of air, and not:' in a
close room where the atmosphere is
still.
"The insurance authorities in
most localities recommend storing
gasoline underground in galvanized
steel, riveted and soldered tanks
located a certain distance from the
garage. This gasoline may be piped
to the building and handled with a
long-distance self-measuring pump
which,.is so designed that the opera
tor can secure' any pre-determined
amount, from a drop to a gallon or
more.
"Do notase gasoline for-cleaning
and then throw the rag or waste in
to some corner; that's an invitation
to a fire. Keep your waste in covered
,buckets as long as it is inside the
/building?
"if .any gasoline be spilled in the
house, or there is a leak from the
carbureter, the doors of the house
should be thrown open immediately,
and no flame used in the building
until a reasonable time is allowed
for the vapor to escape.
In case of gasoline becoming
accidentally ignited, it is useless to
try to extinguish the flames by
means of water, since the gasoline
will only float on the water and
continue to burn. Dry sand is very
effective as an extinguisher, and a
supply should be kept constantly on,
hand wherever gasoline - is stored
or'used."
