Does anyone know where I can get one of these and a set of specs on the device itself? Not sure if they're legal in Canada or not...Thanks!!!

I fitted one of these - well worth having and easy to put in as well. Can't think of a good reason not to.

Araon, Mike F.-thanks for the info! Obviously, the first step to not having an engine fire would be to install new fuel lines and make sure the carb isn't leaking-that'll be my first course of action! Then I'll consider the firetec.
