Cheap Chinese diesel heaters in motorhomes most surely pose a similar risk?

A tyre is more likely to have a burst than a Chinese diesel heater. A diesel heater is like a very small AGA with a fan, and you light it with a glow plug, instead matches or lighter.
A lpg tank or bottle is many more times dangerous than a fan assisted oil burner.

Serioulsy I used to work as QA in bananas, and yes we measure the bend internal length, bend external length, the colour, the markings, temps and umpteen other things for brussels.

This regulation requires that bananas as a minimum standard must not have "abnormal curvature"[5] although no definition or guidance was given about the degree of curvature that would be regarded as "abnormal". That led to various stories about an EU ban on curved bananas.[6] It has been frequently repeated by Europhiles and Eurosceptics alike, the former tending to regard it as an apocryphal or misleading Euromyth[6] and the latter regarding it as an example of needless European bureaucracy.[7]

Particularly "straight" fruit came in to th ecountry weekly, and was called "dollar fruit" as it generally was the brand "dole" from south american countries and was "force grown" and huuuuge.

in this case we had to encase them in boxes..similar to camera boxes filled with curved stiff foam, that was formed into a curve, and put them in a ripending room, 100 boxes per room, kept at 14 degrees, and humid, till they ripened to the correct colour and the "foam" cases formed the curve better.

Sounds like marketing issue to me

I should have put some emojis on this part, is it was a complete lie that I have told many times in many pubs when people asked what I did,
of course we used to "ripen" them and add permithin to kill the crawlies, but curve them...noooooo
