"I wonder if anyone has been killed as a result of damaged blue foil ..."

Actually, I'm concerned that a state inspector might wonder the same thing.� After fixing my odometer, it appears that my high beam indicator light no longer works, and this may be due to blue foil damage because I recall having to wrestle with it during the repair.� Will this make the van fail state inspection?� Something else to worry about.

Durn thangs, indeed.

I wonder if anyone has been killed as a result of damaged blue foil printed
circuit board on a Vanagon. Fuel lines are clearly malevolent but what of
PCBs...
