Gov't mandates gas can flame arrestors.

That plastic thingy is in the bottom of my diesel can. When pumping fuel in the can, the plastic thingy created spray back so I punched it down into the can.
Yeh, one time I had an issue with it, pump shutting off. Figured it was the pump itself, but maybe it's what you're describing. But usually nah, I don't have problems with it.

Either ways though, I'm with the consensus here, I don't like being told what to do for "my own good"...puck the folice!

I've spent time in rural Mexico. They have the uncanny ability to recognize a hazard on their own.
That’s true. Kinda like we learned in the US about the fuel bomb behind the seat in 1960s trucks and 1970s exploding fuel tanks on Fords. After so many casualties people do learn.

We are all entitled to our opinions, and that’s also a liberty we have in America. And I do think otherwise regarding substantive issues. I do believe that consumer protection on products is something worthwhile. Go to a country that has very little consumer protection. Many products are unsafe for consumption or use. Best to you.
We agree that we're each entitled to our own opinion. Just not to force it on others.

I don't disagree, but people who think 8yr old kids deserve 3rd degree burns and lifelong scars because stupid should hurt have no reason or common sense. If that's not you then you didn't see your reflection in my post.
Who ever thought it would be a good idea to let an 8 year old play with a gas can????

Honestly, I'm no longer surprised by anything, including what's pertaining to kids.

A 6 y/o has the wherewithal to access a loaded gun, smuggle it into a school, hide it from search, and point/aim/fire with purpose. I'd say an 8 y/o accessing a gas can and lighting himself up on fire is small potatoes compared to THAT!

Seems like I was about that age when I was tasked with cutting the "lawn", feeding the chickens, etc and hunting squirrels for fun.
I guess today it's better to give them a vape pen, a phone for **** and dumb internet ideas.
