In Reply to: gas line hit posted by 730virgil on December 05, 2017 at 09:42:56:
When my uncle and cousin used to pave streets my cousin drove a steel stake into a gas line the locating company missed. It blew a small crater out of the ground and the crew took off running. There was no fire but they lost a lot of time standing around while the gas company did it's work.
Another time, when the bridge by my house was replaced the contractor or county, I don't know which one, called the phone company to locate the line. They called the wrong phone company. The company man came, sat in his pickup a long time looking at maps, then got out, stuck a flag in the ground, painted a circle around it and left without notifying the contractor about it. As I understand a flag with a circle around it signifies there is nothing buried there? Anyway, their signals got crossed. The contractor came, looked at the flag with the circle and promptly dug up the phone line but thought it was an old abandoned line. My phone went dead so I sauntered out to the contractor and told him they had severed my phone line. He got a worried look on his face and got on the phone. It didn't take long for the phone company to show up. I never did hear who had to pay the bill.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
