Answer 1

Fumes are always worse than the fluid--the vapors readily mix with the air and that can trigger a blast--the fluid NEVER burns--only the vapor---those wavy things you can see when gas is in an open can.Make sure this repair is PROPERLY done ---not just taped up

Answer 2

Ha! That's a good one. That's proof that you don't need to know anything about mechanics and electrical systems to work at a parts store!
