Have an on-site fuel tank?

If so, you might want to check the condition of the hose.
Mine developed a crack where it was laying on the ground and started siphoning fuel out of the tank onto the driveway. Didn't think this could happen! Apparently I had kinked the hose after the pump was shut off, or else I would have gotten a bath.
This is one time I'm glad that my wife is sensitive to diesel odor. She sent me hunting for the source of the smell. Could have drained all 300 gallons instead of only a couple.

Thanks for the heads up....
