[Rhodes22-list] Storage of fuel in lazarette

[Jim White]

The only flammible liquid that I store in the Laz is rum.....and I'll take my chances with that ;-)....(beatcha toit rummy!).
   
  fuel tank goes goes under the aft part of the cockpit seat. Try to avoid explosions at all costs.

  Ben,

Do you store flammable products such as fuel in the lazarette? In addition
to pinching off the fuel line by the lazarette hatch, I have always been
afraid of fumes and vapors collecting in the enclosed space. My 6 gallon
tank fits nicely under the rear portion of the port cockpit seat, with a bit
of manipulation so I never really gave it any further thought.. Maybe I've
been doin' it wrong all these years ...
