Default Tank Hazards

I do have a ground fault interrupt circuit installed now and avoid

Be careful anyway. I had a plumbing leak a month or so back that put water into
one of my power strips. It tripped the GFCI, just like it was supposed to do. I
cleaned up and dried everything out (I thought) and reset the GFCI. Everything
was up and running and I was feeling a little better when I noticed that the
power strip was spitting out sparks. GFCI units aren't infallible.
