A while back I was at a gas station when an older lady approached me and told me her tank had overflowed and she was concerned about what to do. It wasn't a huge spill and would evaporate shortly. I told her I'd move her car for her, since she was worried it would go up in a ball of flame if she started it. She agreed, but first had to get her dog out of the car; apparently it was OK for me to risk MY life, but not her dog's! Needless to say nothing happened and she drove away.
My worst experience with an overflow was refueling our 5010 when I was a teenager. I was used to filling it from a gravity tank, but my dad also had a bulk truck he used for his construction business. I was used to greasing the tractor while waiting for the gravity tank to fill, so one day I was filling the tractor from the bulk truck and did the same. Unfortunately, the nozzle on the bulk truck didn't have an automatic shutoff, and while I was away it started overflowing and I ran to shut it off. By the time I got it shut off I was soaked! (I should have shut it off at the truck, but didn't have time to think.) I was out in the middle of nowhere with no access to soap and water (other than my drinking water), let alone a change of clothes, so I spent the rest of the day working the summer fallow in my diesel-soaked clothes and an open cab. I was a mess at the end of that day.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
