Sinista32 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Experience Peter, I was sitting in a HQ ute while one mate was filling up and the numbnut next to me decided to play with a lighter just rolling the wheel on the flint It ignigted the fumes in the cabin (Boom!) and lit up the filler neck. The attendant refused to come out with the extinguisher. So I went back over after about 30 seconds and put the cap back on which extinguished the flame. (Only the fumes were burning from the filler neck.) We all lost eyebrows, some hair and a few years. Farkin idiot Sorry no vid ...

Nismo 3.2ish Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Fark, you blokes were lucky, it does not take much to cause what could have been a lot worse. I had a 1936 Dodge when I was a kid, had just filled it up and was going like a DH , lost it and wrapped it around a light post, bent it in half , we all got out OK, well sort of OK. Petrol all over the place and my mate lit a smoke, everyone shit and he threw it on the ground, yes into the petrol and it went out, windy night no fumes I guess but it scared the crap out of me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/450255-worst-modifying-experience/page/4/#findComment-7444123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

33wishes Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yer thought I would go to my local racecraft engineer to get some end links made for my sway bar. I gave him the instructions & measures. With rose joint ends , a short and long extensions for a soft and hard setting. Left & right handed threads with matching locking nuts and tapped spacers. You get the picture, and a price tag to match. Only to find out later none of my measurements even came close to working . Engineer says to me try these, a male and female rosejoint screwed together 40 bucks. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/450255-worst-modifying-experience/page/4/#findComment-7444754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydking Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 release bowser handle (natural reaction) and close lid (unnatural reaction) when fuel neck catches alight maybe difficult to comprehend if first time and/or fear sets in Man i wish i knew that, at first i thought the whole servo was going to blow up. But 2 seconds after I didn鈥檛 care. I was more worried with saving my car then anything, i understand the servo attendant did not want to help but heck i just wanted my car. He could have at least given me the key to the fire exinguher box, i asked him like 6 times and was yelling at him towards the end. Even the firemen said what the hell why was there no key in the box as that鈥檚 not compliant by fire safety standards. Also it was blocked by the servo bin that they have were the water bucket ect is. They now have a key in the box, the break glass section is removed so even quicker access and no obstructions, yet they still claim no fault at all. It took him like 2 min to hit the fuel cut emergency button when i ran in and told him there was a fire, he didn鈥檛 believe me. The funny thing about the fuel vapours is. The servo was only renovated 2 weeks prior, it was the first service station in Aus to have this new technology installed that has a vacuum in the nozzles to suck out any fuel vapour. I remember that for next time and I will have my own extinugher in the car.

Yes and no, two different mechanics built the car and put it all together. Then a separate tuner. I had also taken it too another two mechanics locally to get a few small things fixed up, i.e. catch and BOV issues and they never picked up on anything I had also filled up about 5 times prior to this time so I was not expecting it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/450255-worst-modifying-experience/page/4/#findComment-7445102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deza3000 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My worst modifying experience would be when i was being bloody ignorant by using only a scissor jack to hold up the car while changing my brake pads. The jack snapped and the car plummeted onto the rotors, luckily my foot wasnt under the car and my expensive brembos didnt take a hit. Since that day i bought 2000KG axel stands and 1800KG hydraulic jack as well as watching countless number of youtube vidz on how to properly jack up a car.

Whoa Black Boaty Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I've only got a scissor jack. do carry your hydraulic jack in your car at all times? aren't they big? or do you just use scissor for spare tire change? and hydraulic from home.

Anfanee Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Throw a wheel under the car, under the sump or something. Will stop the car from Crushing you if it falls. I have had a car snap a jack as well. Always have something as a failsafe.
