Stephen, 
Good point...................I thought you were going to mention pressure alcohol stoves.  Anyway I felt that the comparison between gas and diesel assumed that all parties were sober. 
Michael ..................................lots of gasssss

Hi, 

I was off cruising, so I've only just read the discussion last week 
about the dangers of gasoline. While gasoline is dangerous let's 
keep it in perspective. It's important to remember that there is a dangerous 
volatile hyrdocarbon that is responsible for a large fraction, possibly 
the majority of boating fatalities, far more than gas fires or propane 
explosions. It's probably on all our boats. It's definitely on mine: alcohol. 
And while I hear lots of sailors saying, "I won't allow gas on my boat, 
too dangerous" I never hear anybody say "No wine/beer/gin and tonic for me 
thanks". More often it's "But where has the rum gone?
