Gas, gas tank leak ?. Try diesel.

Actually, gasoline and diesel fuel both are products that are made from crude oil. When a barrel of crude oil comes into the refinery, it’s distilled into its heavier and lighter components. The lighter stuff is used to make gasoline. Diesel fuel is heavier, denser, less flammable and less volatile. So in a nut shell diesel is a gas.

Again, the CHP can’t seem to clear and accident promptly. Navy sailors can clear a fouled F-18 with bombs, fuel, and cannon rounds off a flight deck in 10 minutes. Why, on land and with cargo that doesn’t blow up it takes the CHP 90 minutes to two hours to open the lanes?
