Demystify: 

> >This reg makes all the sense in the world for FUEL CONTAINERS. However, CPSC has said-off-the-record that they expect to lump fuel additives in with this, something that was not the original intent of the legislation. This directly affects my industry (automotive aftermarket chemicals) since we and dozens of other companies collectively sell tens of millions of relevant, flammable fuel additives annually in the US alone. Moreover, there simply are not solutions for the single-use bottles that we all employ; they just don't exist today.

Thanks for pointing this distinction out. I know that the ACS discussion was around fuel containers used in consumer settings and their potential for flame jetting. I wonder how the size and shape of the chemical containers impacts the flame jetting concern?
