My reason for MY caution was from another experience (ACTUALLY HAPPENED 15 FEET FROM ME).

Speedy was cutting the motor mounts to remove an engine from a frame with no body. After a couple cuts there was a giant explosion, right before Speedy came staggering out of cloud of dust. His comment was.

"Well looks like I cut a fuel line!"

The tank was split open and turned inside out.
