Fearing an explosion from the oxygen and acetylene tanks, I bear hugged them and drug them outside, burning both forearms in the process.īy some miracle, he actually succeeded at extinguishing the flames with the water hose alone. The melting headliner dripping down on me brought me back to my senses, and I returned to the shop door to find my friend attempting to put out the flames with a garden hose. Freaking out, I jumped in to move the car away from the flames, only to have it stall a few feet later.
I blindly tossed several of them out into the parking lot (and onto customer vehicles) without issue, but as I threw the final bucket, I watched in horror as the fuel was set alight and landed directly on my car.

My attention turned to removing the remaining containers full of gas before they melted as well. Within seconds, it melted due to the flames, pouring several gallons of flaming gasoline on the floor. Before I had a chance to stop him, sparks managed to set one of the buckets alight. That part went just fine, but as I was beginning to move the gasoline filled containers outside, my dumbass friend and co-worker decided to fire up the cutting torch to pull the engine and trans. Not wanting to waste the fuel, my dumbass self decided to put a hole in the tank and drain it into cans and 5 gallon buckets. We had a full-size van that was to be scrapped, with at least 30 gallons of fresh gasoline in the tank. Many years ago, this happened at the shop I worked at.

Plus it was in Maine, so winters sucked, cold… WET, and everything smells and taste and feels like 5w30 That was their deal breaker, fired… nope not some idiot pissing in the waste oil/water tank…or overdosing in the bathroom lol…įuck that job, yea I was there. Lol they paid too when you could prove it. I wouldn’t like it on my engine… and I have seen them start and run cars and not notice only for the owner to come back a day later with a bill for a new motors. Most of the time someone yelled before the motor ever ran dry but shit. I could t tell you how many times someone started the car and oil shoots out, either from the drain plug not being put back in or just the dumbass (or others, there were fucking plenty) would leave the filter off. Asshat kept yelling to upstairs all his calls (the steps he was suppose to be doing or touching as he called out each step)
Same employees, I replaced the guy who “trained” me 1 day into the job. Worked at a oil change place of the exact same model. Your body shouldn't be under the oil pan as you are draining it. One hand might get a bit of oil on it but that should be it and you can almost completely eliminate that.

When you do drain oil raise the vehicle up or put it on ramps then break the drain plug free then spin the plug off and let it fall on top of the oil bin. Don't drain oil immediately after the vehicle has been running all day - do something else for a bit. I'm sorry but if you're getting drenched in oil every time you do a service you're doing something very very wrong. I got drenched in oil two times total one being my first oil change and the second being an oil cooler that slipped out of my hands while I was holding it up in the air. Even from vehicles straight off the road where the oil actually is hot as shit. I've been a diesel mechanic for more than a decade and have done thousands upon thousands of oil changes.
