Wow, brings back horrible memories. 17 years ago, I came home from work and my 15 year old son told me that he dropped a ladder on a 5 gallon gas can and split a crack in it. The gas was leaking all over the garage, but he cleaned it up. I went into the garage and found a 5 gallon sears shop vac sitting there with about 2.5 gallons of gas in the vac. How he didn't kill himself I will never know but will always be thankful to God for that.
