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.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
