I watched this video several times but I can not see the taser.

Then I remebered seeing the Mythbuster segment in which they really did have a bit of trouble getting the vapors to ignite.
I still say you're more likely to be struck by lightning while refueling than to have your cellphone ignite the gas vapors.

hey ,don't forget the "dragging the plastic gas can across your bed liner of a pick-up"....supposed to remove the can totally from the truck rather than fill it while itt sits on the tailgate. :toung:

But anyways back on topic, I built a metal bracket to hold my cb antenna but I put it on the inside of the license plate holder. The only problem now is that the plastic insert does not sit flush so I will have to make some modifications

re: the cell phone/gas station myth, there is a good writeup by snopes here that should dispel this once and for all -- the Mythbusters show was interesting, but they can be a bit.... well... unscientific at times.
re: the CB mount -- isnt' the back shell of the license plate holder plastic? I would be worried about it torquing it out of shape in that case. Presumably you guys have seen this thread which details one guy's solution (which he's selling -- no affiliation to me) where he uses a small metal bracket inside the frame to mount it. Just wondering why you didn't go that route? price?

yeah, $80 for his solution, vs. $8.99 for mine. With the aluminum braket on top of the license plate holder and the antennae itself going through the bracket, it's actually pretty sturdy.
