Default Thankful to have not caught fire

Got up before dawn to have breakfast with my Dad for Labor Day. 45 minute cruise in the cool was nice. Left to head to work to check on some things another 45 minute cruise. Smelled gas but did not think about it because I had an empty 2.5 gal gas can in the passenger side I brought along to fill up with the Cobra. I thought it was just the stink of the can as the day warmed up. Arrived, shut it off, lifted the hood and gas is all pooled in the intake manifold with a steady drip out of the now defective fuel pressure gauge. Twisted the junk gauge out with pliers and screwed in a spare brake light pressure switch to get me to Ace Hardware to get a proper plug. Thankful to have not caught fire big time. Ya'll keep an eye on those weenie 0-15 psi gauges. Man, was hot here today too.
