Since the last few recent incidents with RVs that involved fuel lines and two actually caught on fire, I had been thinking about some added protection in addition to good workmanship and accepted practices. With that in mind, I double-checked all my fuel lines, flare, etc and all looked good
But I also installed a fume detector (fire boy Xintex M-2A) which will detect gasoline fume and CO2. I really like how little fume or CO2 can set off the alarm, amounts that my nose will not easily detect. Well, I have now little over 10 hours with the unit installed and so far so good. Two nights ago, on a x-country flight my wife was cold and, a rare occasion, I opened the cabin heat and was glad to see it that the alarm never detected any CO2. All in all, I am much happier now to have this add layer of advance notice if there is any thing wrong. Fuel leaks scare the heck out of me.
