keith ...
you know i prowled around various auto parts places and no one had
anything to offer for insulation. i figured someone would have some
sort of firewall insulation that would work but i came up with nada.
i was halfway thinking i'd glue some real heavy aluminum foil ontop
of the minicell to help with the heat, but i did not think about the
hyrocarbons being a problem. i'll gunkup some minicell tonight and
see how it stands up to gas/grease/oil ...
thanks for the heads up!
