[QUOTE="Traveller"] I would suggest to keep the van out of the garage until it is fixed. It is not worth a chance for a fire hazard like that in your home. I hope the garage is not attached to the house. Be careful anything can ignite and cause fire or explosion.[/QUOTE] exactly! and doubly especially so if theres a gas fired water heater in the garage the van is in. i fried the engine bay of an 81 mazda 626 many years ago because it had a carb leak and i pushed it into the garage to work on it. once the water heater 15 feet away kicked in, the fumes from the small puddle on the ground instantanously combusted.
