Today at work a young man was using a torch to heat up a pin on a bulldozer. The pin was actually the hinge pin for the loader. He was trying to get it out to take the boom/loader arms off of the dozer. As he heated the pin he didn't realize there was a grease fitting facing him. Well he kept heating it and as it smoked and built pressure internally from the grease boiling and the fitting getting read hot, it finally blew out the little ball from the grease fitting like a bullet. Luckily he wasn't in front of it. It flew 30 feet then stuck in the wall of the shop. The grease fitting turned into a 6 ft flame thrower until it ran out of grease to shoot. This could of been fatal.
Years ago I had a friend who was heating up a stell wheel on an old plow trying to take it off. same thing happened to him but he got hit from a chunk of metal that busted off from the pressure hitting him between the legs. He said he swelled up like a melon then had to have one of two private parts taken off.
