I never met him - but sad. I believe ‘Toxic Terry’, Chorleys petrol drinker set himself alight, causing himself severe injuries.

I had two five-pound tanks that provided about three-months worth of gas each. The stove was purchased at a recreational vehicle store and was well-built and sturdy. I kept the tanks in the cockpit and when I wanted to cook I would hook the tank to the stove. When cooking chores were finished I would turn the gas off at the bottle and allow the burner to go off as the remaining gas in the hose burned off. I never experienced the least bit of trouble in all the time I owned the boat. I also had a single-burner Sea Swing propane stove that operated off of small containers for use when under way since it was gimbled.
