An 18-year-old man went to the hospital after he was burned trying to steal gas, according to published reports.
The man peered into a portable gas tank with a cigarette lighter "to see how full it was" the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported.
The fumes ignited, and his clothes caught on fire. He had burns on his hands.
