Someone at I think Caldwell was power buffing their Lancair 4p and for
some reason removed the gas caps. When an almost empty gas tank explodes
and gets hot in a plastic plane the results are interesting, and very
very expensive.

Yup, good lesson for all of us - empty gas tanks aren't empty - they can
contain precisely the correct air/fuel mixture to make a complete ash of
ourselves and our machines.
It does give me a sense of satisfaction knowing that most airplane guys I am
around are thinking about what can go wrong with fuel and fueling - what
really scares me is some of the things I see going on at the local car
fueling stations - most people fueling cars, or filling gas cans, don't even
think of what can happen.
Keep those brain cells exercised, Fly Safe and Fuel safe.

It isn't just the cars... I have an RV that has a
propane fired fridge. The fridge burner is about 4
feet from where you fill the gas tank. Easy to forget
to turn off the fridge before filling with gas.
Really gets your attention, if you know about the
risk, when the fridge lights off as you are gassing
the RV. If you are around an RV being gassed, watch
out. The owner may not know the risks.
Who designs these things?
