one bubble every three or four seconds will never ignite in the open i

i recently had my autostop valve fail while filling in the gas station.
now a loudly hissing tank in a gas station is scary. it took nearly two

i think i should have just driven it out of town into a field. standing
there with a fire extinguisher for two hours is nerveracking. luckily it was
a windy day.
