Being an old motorhead, when a parts washer or cleaner was not available my grandfather and I would always wash our old engine parts in a pan filled with gasoline. It does a great job of cleaning the rust and oil off of the items but it is not the cheapest and safest item to use. Let me explain some of the dangers. Hopefully no one from PETA is logged in.
While cleaning engine parts for a resto we were doing, his dog a small black poodle always used to rub itself in the grass where the gas had spilled. I'm sure there was some kind of high he probably got from it.
Well this particular day we had left the pan by the garage after we finished but hadn't disposed of it yet. We had just backed the car out and we were walking back when we noticed the poodle was drinking from the pan filled with gas. We ran to stop him him but it was too late. The dog had ingested some gas and was shaking his head back and forth. When I went to get the dog to make sure he was okay, he took off running like he was insane.
That dog ran around that yard at full tilt for like two minutes and I couldn't stop him. He ran and ran and ran. Finally what seemed like 5 minutes, he just ran to the corner of the yard and fell over motionless.
DID IT KILL HIM??!!!
Nah, He just RAN OUT OF GAS!! LOL!:burnout:
