[QUOTE="danl, post: 1430397, member: 229"] I buy the maximum amount of diesel once a month at Krogers using my reward points. For the month of June is was .71 cents off per gallon, maximum of 35 gallons. Price ended up at 1.57 per gallon I was filling up my plastic 55 gallon drum in the back of my truck, (spray in bedliner btw), and the tanker driver happened to be there. He came over and said I was doing a very dangerous thing. Said static electricity from the barrel and bed liner could cause a spark and blow me up. I said its diesel, he said doesn't matter, and walked off and I continued to fill. I am pretty sure the flash point of diesel is over 120 degrees, and I don't think it was that hot, maybe 84... In my experience you almost have to talk nice to diesel to light it with a match :D I would not do that with gasoline, btw. [/QUOTE]
