Not sure on the batts. Box might survive, The batteries might have shorted.

Should be, but who knows what sitting in nitro for 4+ days will do to the cells...

He will probally need to replace the wires, wheel, and belt, I'm sure if it "melted" the plastic on the radio, it probally did the same to the rubber on the wires.

Yeah. Well the wheel on the radio is fine! haha. And the fuel bottle survived. That's a good think imo, lol.

Had a baggy of cheetos-Don't worry Mike, gas does NOT eat away at the seal on the cheeto's bag so they were still edible! Just to be on the safe side though I threw them out.

This is Ron Hopkins response to matt (he owns werks)

#979 of 980 by Ron Hopkins (alrousa) on Fri Mar 16 23:22:12 2007:



Matt, that does not look good! Did by chance the bottle get put in your
crate upside down? Just curious as that looks like a whole lot of fuel,
I would guess close to a complete gallon. I can not see how a bottle
stood right side up can spill it's entire content. Regarding the gallon
seals, by which I take it you mean caps we use UN compliant packaging
only. Meaning that the boxes, bottles, caps and every other part of our
packaging has been tested and certified for use with hazard/flamable
liquids. They also have teflon seals, meaning that they can not disolve
which can cause leakage. Also the gallons are induction sealed, so
there is 0 chance of un-opened gallons leaking. Frankly unless the cap
is not tightened properly it should not come loose. Even if it did leak
I'm still not sure how it is possible for a cap to leak so much that
you get that amount of fuel in your crate unless the bottle was upside
down. Not trying to pass the buck but I'm just curious as in the last 2
years that we have been selling fuel, I have never seen the bottle
leak.
