Hey i'm looking for that picture of a mechanic back in the 60's or 70's re-fueling a car while smoking a cigerette on the grid of Monaco possibly? lmao

I know one of you can find it. Internet searches suck at this kind of thing

I know the picture you are talking about, but I can't find it either.

Here's an alternative:

Kids!....A cigarette will not ignite raw gasoline...you can put one out in a bucket full,,,just dont make a spark. ;)
I thought I had that picture or one similar but darned if I can find it.

That would make sense since seeing a Ferrari mechanic in 2011 lighting up in the pitlane 1foot in front of a shell container which was likely carrying fuel

why is that? I thought it was diesel that is safe due to its high ignition point..


btw the picture I was looking for isn't either of them two :(
