Jackstraw Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 You get a new window yet? At least its not real cold so the plastic probably works. If it gets any warmer the mosquitoes too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quebec bob Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 High pressure fuel injection, spraying fuel onto exhaust and pants, no game, you really have to understand when this happens to GET AWAY FROM THE SLED, HAVE A PLAN, GET THAT FUEL CADDY IF YOU CAN, and maybe unhook your heated shield. Seriously, when this shit happens you have to realize everything is plastic, and you cannot save it, be smart and get the hell away from it in case it explodes. Really terrible day when this happens but really great to see the post so if it happens to your group you will remember what to do when it is hard to think quick and smart, hope he has insurance and nobody got hurt.

Really good thought Phil, never thought of that but saw it once in the shop, a tech heating shock bolts with a torch, very high pressure spraying hydraulic oil under pressure, really dangerous!!
