Question:

What are ways to put out a gasoline-fueled fire?

I know water doesnt work since the gasoline just floats on top of it, and I have heard that smothering the fire with a blanket or towel (to deprive the fire of oxygen) will work. But, besides smothering, how else can you put out a fire that is caused by gasoline?

Answer:

OH boy! I have seen this kind of jury rig job before! You will likely have to cut open the wall around the pipe to get to the leak. If it is galvanized pipe in the wall, you need to measure the outside diameter of the connection, (probably a tee) and go to your home center and get a Fernco connector. This is a black rubber connector with hose clamps on each end. You need one that will fit over the end of the fitting in the wall, and then you can tighten it with a screwdriver. Now you can go to PVC pipe and do whatever fittings needed to make it fit the sink drain.
