]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> Thats probably a good $3 bucks worth of gas in that glove

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> Aren't rubber gloves supposed to be used to prevent explosions?

How long could that have possibly lasted? Rubber gloves (nitrile or latex) aren't all that tough, and gas eats both.

Although, with this modification the Volvo's overall Safety Score™ is likely still ahead of most competitors.

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> @elwood: No, this was/is not allowed. We learned a lot about safety in the first LeMons, which this photo is from--after surviving a race with gas-filled glove balloons and no fire suits (!), we figured amending the rules was in order. Of course, we now refer to that first race as "the good old days."

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> Dangerous? Maybe not. How many people hit the right rear of the car after this fix? The best way to survive a crash is to avoid one, right?

Mysterious Utility Bento

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> Do I always have to be the serious one? Oh well, someone has to. That can't be a latex glove. Latex and gasoline get along about as well as Listerene Strips and saliva, which is to say that if that was a latex glove it would be dissolving even as it was installed. The blue color suggests nitrile or maybe neoprene.

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> The handy external reserve tank probably gave them the edge they needed.

graverobber- My Yugo Nova!

]]> <![CDATA[Fuel Filler Leak? Fix It With A Rubber Glove!]]> And the track safety marshals allowed this? I know LeMons is all about racing cheap cars, but come on.
