[pct-l] HEET - Caution

[Brandon McGinnity]

Good tip. I also found with denatured alcohol, it will wash any writing you
do with a Sharpie right off. The duct tape would be clearly distinguishing
enough to alert you that it's fuel not water, but try to find a way to make
it so other people will know in case some fool gets ahold of it. Maybe get
creative: with little strips of duct tape, form a skull and crossbones on
the bottle. I don't know...
