... wicked homebrew. Some conction of kerosene, gas and some other stuff. Sounded pretty potent...A lotta heat...[/quote]

Just be careful. I once responded to a boat rescue where the owners boat (a large power cruiser) had sank at the dock. We came alongside in the rescue boat and put our salvage/fire pump on board to pump him out. We returned to base and told him we would pick-up the pump later that day.

Once the boat was pumped out, he decided to clean the engine with kerosene, gas, etc....you know where the story is going...the boat caught on fire with our salvage/FIRE pump on board! We managed to hook the boat and get it out of the marina and then used a really long hose from the fire dept to put the fire out - too late as she had burned to the water line and sunk!

Cheers, Hugh
