When you said you vacuumed the tank my sphincter puckered tight enough to crush a lead pipe.

Have you ever seen a shop vac explode from sucking up a flammable liquid?  Trust me, you don't.

Never use a vacuum in a fuel tank no matter how clean you think it is.

There's a supplemental income opportunity right there! Reserve a booth at the county fair this fall. In fact, start a YouTube channel. Anatoly will be envious.

NEVER clean a gas tank in your lap.

I bought a dead K100 to revive. The tank was filled with half gas/half water and needed to have the inside wiped out. No big deal. I took off the gas cap and fuel level sender and shook what gas I could out of it but there was still some left.

I sat down on a milk crate with the gas tank in my lap so I could wipe out the inside with paint thinner and rags. I flipped the tank over to inspect the bottom of it. A little leftover gas trickled out of the gas cap hole into my crotch. Having had my hands in gas many times before I thought it was no big deal.

I could not have been more wrong. About ten seconds later my nuts were ON FIRE in excruciating pain. I must have been quite a sight running through the basement as fast as I could while tearing my Levis off to get to the basement sink and rinse my nuts.

If you ever want to interrogate a terrorist then don't bother with waterboarding. Just tie him down and pour some gas on his nuts. He'll tell you whatever you want to know in a heartbeat.

The strong dude? Curious as to why you mention him. Is he a bricker?

"A little leftover gas trickled out of the gas cap hole into my crotch."

Brutal. Ive felt the pain getting it on my face, especially eyelids. Can't imagine a lap full. I did get the honor of "ruining" my new $$$ jeans when I pulled what I thought was an empty gearbox into my lap with no drain or filler plugs in place. . Took quite the time for the smell to fade(god why does gear oil smell so bad?)....and the jeans ultimately survived rhe ordeal.

OK!!!, first off let me say that I felt like a genius for a little while, ok with the help of like six people on here. Is it possible to fall in love with the brick boys? Mechanically , of course.

That would be possible, its probably somewhere along the line of sapiosexuality..

Yeah, I was trying several different methods and was concerned about that too, ( fearful posture must have fun to watch), however the congealed ( I guess) "gas' was like napalm, I didn't know how else to get that crap out of there.
