jamespowers said:I think you must live in a Three Stooges movie. Gasoline, paint thinner, turpentine etc. are highly flammable gases if you leave them in open containers! All of those things come in or are obtained in tightly sealed containers. If you have that stuff open in your garage then you deserve to be blown up. lol
No drugs. When my mother was on Chemo, she forgot a few things. One of them was turning the car off before going into the house. NOTHING happened.
No, I am not saying those two gases are hazzardous to each other. I am saying that the gas used to operate a stove is much more mobile, flamable and open to affect a pilot light than auto gas fumes---especially if the stove is next to the water heater. That would be ridiculous.
Building codes are as they are because some pulled a Three Stooges moment and showed exactly how something shouldn't be done. Put your water heater where you want but I am not responsible for the house being launched into orbit. :eusa_doh:
The water heater and the stove BOTH USE THE SAME NATURAL GAS!!!!!!!!!! What are you SMOKING????? Also, if the furnace is natural gas then all three use the SAME NATURAL GAS. What do you think?; that there's different types of gas going to each? How is the natural gas used in a stove going to be harmful to the natural gas used in the water heater if both are in working order? One would have to be leaking in order to ignite the other. WOW! Just like if someone is using solvents in a garage. DUH!
Go back and read the past posts, you're the one talking about auto exhaust, no one mentioned it but you. The topic is solvents. Are solvents always stored in tight containers? Don't people use them while in their garages? Aren't garages where people work on things, build things, clean things, paint things? Building Codes are in place to prevent Three Stooge moments, if it wasn't a problem then the Code wouldn't have been changed. Obviously it's a danger otherwise the Building Code wouldn't prohibit the heaters from being installed on the floor. Have you seen the bottom of a water heater? The flame burns constantly to heat the water. It's an open flame.
