This reminds me of a Big Black song.

sit around home
stare at the walls
stare at each other
Wait till we die

There's kerosene around

Set me on fire

LOL! Thanks Bit. Don't try siphoning at home kids. It has potentially very negative effects.

TYNGSBORO -- Police say a 20-year-old Dunstable man trying to save money on gas suffered burns on his arms when he set himself on fire -- allegedly while trying to siphon gas from a truck.

Police say he was siphoning gas from a truck at the Olive Garden restaurant construction site, behind the Outback Steakhouse on Middlesex Road, on Sunday at 9:45 p.m.

According to a source, Corbett used a cigarette lighter to illuminate the area, setting himself and the truck, a 2003 Ford flatbed, on fire.

Siphoning gasoline, sitting in a methane-filled crapper, I dunno, two potential candidates, but they failed to do the one thing you need to do to capture a Darwin - die!

“The whole back of the truck was burned,” said Deputy Fire Chief Richard Blechman. “We're just glad it wasn't the Olive Garden.”

Man stealing gas uses lighter to check on progress

Associated Press
Jun. 2, 2005 10:29 AM

THURMAN, N.Y. - A tip for would-be gasoline thieves: When stealing gas in the dark, don't use a lighter to see how you're doing.

Authorities say that's what one man did when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business in the Adirondacks.

The sheriff's department says he was transferring the fuel from the truck to a gas can when he used a lighter to see how full the container had become. That sparked a fire that caused minor burns to his face and hands. The fire spread to a nearby forklift, which was destroyed in the blaze.

Look, people, all the guy was trying to do was illuminate the area. He succeeded. And now you call him stupid? Tough crowd.

An 82-year old Glen Burnie man was transported to the Bayview Burn Center in Baltimore this morning after trying to siphon gas from his car with a vacuum cleaner while the engine was running.

Hospital officials refused to release a status report, but fire officials said he suffered first- and second-degree burns to 20 percent of his body, primarily to the left side of his abdomen, chest, hands and face.

"The vacuum not withstanding, it's not advisable to siphon gas while the car is running," said Lt. Russ Davies, spokesman for the county fire department.

He added that the fire could have spread to the gas tank, blowing up the entire vehicle. "It certainly would have been possible," he said.

According to Lt. Davies, the man had locked his keys inside the vehicle last night while it was still running. Unable to get them out, the man left the car running in his driveway at 212 Benmere Road and went to bed only to find the vehicle still idling when he awoke this morning.

Determined to stop the car, the man pulled out an electric vacuum cleaner around 7:30 a.m.

Lt. Davies explained the vacuum cleaner's electric motor caused a spark and ignited the gas.

"You have to wonder what type of judgment was being used there," said Lt. Davies.
