I was starting the old grain truck couple years ago, typical pour gas in the carb and crank it over because its been parked for several months.....
Puddle of gas caught on the engine block when it backfired, nice little flame looking at me through the crack under the open hood.
Hum. In my brand new machine shed, I know the engine has some oil grime on it, flame seems to be a little bigger than it was 15 seconds ago, I think I better think of something........
I had just put a little fire extinguisher on the shed wall a couple months ago. Fairly calmly ran to get that, come back, squirt the even little bit bigger flames, and all was well. Needed to buy a new 1/4 inch rubber hose for the truck.
Being prepared, a person has to keep thinking. I don't think I woulda been prepared a few months earlier, and not sure I'm always prepared today for the many things that can go wrong, but that day I was and hopefully I keep trying to stay one step ahead.....
