So, Im sitting in first peroid this morning and i get a call from my dad. I forgot to turn the ringer off so i interupted class. My teacher was cool, and let me answer it (because it was my dad) in the next room.



So my dad calls and tells me that the garage is so pungent of gas that he couldnt walk into it.



It was coming from my car on the lift. i pulled the motor, so the fuel lines were open. I had left the gas tank cap off, and there hasnt been a leakage problem for a month. I had a few friends over this weekend, and another FD owner came over to pick up a ECU i was giving to him. My friends got roudy and started messing around with ****. One decided to close the gas cap.



So after a few days the tank had built enough pressure to send a constant drip of fuel out. I hadnt been into the garage sense the cap was put on. There was a pool of gas on the ground. The furnace is no more then 10 feet from the car. Its gas too. I have NO clue how the garage didnt explode! I mean, it would have taken alot of gas, but it was burning my eyes walking next to the car...



That could have been very bad if my father didnt decide to go into the garage this morning!



time to this stupid ******!

Ummmmm... At the end of the show they got enough of an explosion to blow the safety walls 5 feet in both directions. And that was just with a spark of static electricity...





Cell phones don't cause gas station fires. But women getting in and out of the car, without grounding themselves to something first, do.
