It doesn't take much to wake this sleeping giant up, does it?

 

That is why it has 712 pages and growing.

 

V10 or PSD?

 

No fair...

You have to tell us if the engine runs first.

 

Um... what?

 

It runs just fine.

 

Must be a 7.3 then lol

 

This thread is twisted in all directions, but when you suggest that gasoline is safe fuel to be around -you are crossing the line.Lot of people die every years in gasoline-related accidents. Twisting the facts around is not helping in keeping the thread civilized.

 

Excuse me, but you're the one who brought up gas fumes in garages igniting

I really want to know, how many people have died because their vehicle is emitting gas fumes while sitting in the garage and it spontaneously ignites?

Are you serious? I guess everyone should run out and buy diesel cars because that gas is so damn dangerous to be around people are dying in droves.

I can see people improperly storing gas in their garages, near a water heater with a pilot light, or some other stupidity, but Darwin's revenge is sweet.

That pic I posted before was supposed to be a euphemism for "grasping at straws" which is exactly what I think you're doing.

 

What smells worse when you get it on your hands at the gas station, gas or diesel?

 

To me, diesel. But to each his own

 

I am posting in this thread for fun.
You brought the issue of diesel making cloth stinking (longer than gasoline does). FINE.
You brought the issue that in some climates diesel require water drainage FINE
You don't understand that in California climate water condensation in fuel doesn't exist FINE.
Than you suggest that I will face big engine damage because I don't drain the non-existent water. That is plain stupid.
Now you are backpedaling on your statement that gasoline is not costing garages blew ups.
Got to go now.

 

No I'm not... again, confused...

That's backpedaling?

 

I have water in fuel in my Diesel and I live in SOCAL. So it does happen.

The woman told investigators Thursday they were having trouble keeping their Ford Econoline van running, so they went to a Factoria gas station to get gas. They didn't have a gas can, instead filling an open bucket with two gallons of gas.

Police say the three had removed the engine cowling between the two front seats of the van and used a water bottle to transfer gas from the bucket directly into the carburetor in order to keep the engine running as they drove east on Kamber Road, said police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate.

By now, the van was full of gas fumes, Iafrate said, and the van stalled again just before 145th Place SE. As they tried to restart it, the van exploded.

The van became fully engulfed in flames and began to roll backwards.

"The whole van... was engulfed in red flames," said witness Julie Sarchet. "The people were saying, 'Honey, I love you! Are you OK? Stay calm.' "

Other witnesses told police the woman jumped out the back of the van and fell to the ground on fire, and the van rolled over her leg. The two men jumped out in flames and ran toward the Chevron station on the corner desperate to get their fires out. One man made it into the gas station and tried to douse himself with water.

Firefighters were able to get the van fire out within minutes and medics took the three victims to Harborview Medical Center. They are still there Thursday but their conditions are not known. Wednesday, police said two were seriously burned and third suffered minor burns.

Iafrate said the three victims were all from Bellevue but did not release their identities.
