You can't say to people its ok to smoke at petrol stations, but lighting a fag is banned.... People are just too stupid for that!

Exactly my point. Oddly enough, brake fluid WILL ignite very easily, even on a hot exhaust manifold. Which makes it a shame that most cars have plenty of it in a reservoir above the engine, many of them on rubber mounts that will shear nicely in an accident.

I stopped at a petrol station in Germany where the smoking area was between the pumps and the shop, under the canopy out of the snow.
I was a bit suprised, but it was -25 and breezy so the level of fuel vapour would have been pretty low!

Anyway, I think we've gone OT enough now!
