The FAA recently lightened its stance on hot fueling for ag planes. It still feels pretty sketchy running a hose underneath a propeller so you can hop up on the landing gear and place yourself directly behind the hot rear end exhaust to start pumping fuel. Pro tip: wear a winter coat, or even better, get someone else to do it

Its perfect fir removing oil and grime from parts tools and equipment. Its also cheaper than any of the approved alternatives. There are a few minor dowsides of course.

Gasoline smells great because of all the carcinogenic aromatic compounds in it like benzene.

But why do we like those smells? (might not be a straightforward answer)

Whenever I fuel up a plane it has a distinctly farty smell. It's definitely not like automotive gasoline but it isn't odorless either. e: the exhaust smells different too and I'm sure it has nothing to do with all that fine white powder that builds up on the exhaust pipe

I make napalm at work sometimes, and it smells much, much less than the gasoline we make it with does.

Rinkles posted:why pennies behind fuses? It would bypass the fuse, so you could continue to use stuff on the circuit. It was sometimes done as a stopgap measure when you'd run out of fuses and the hardware store didn't open until Monday. Too often people would then forget about it and burn their house down as a result. It's one of the reasons circuit breakers are used now.

Groda posted:Firefighting exercises. You can relight it like 10 times. Lol. The two biggest fire-bugs I've met have been my uncle, a volunteer firefighter, and my neighbor, a fire-safety inspector. My uncle managed to secure an agreement with the owner of the dilapidated garage opposite his own house to burn it down as training exercise. That very quickly ended up with the fire department having to save his house. Half the small town was there, poo poo went up far faster and hotter than they figured, my aunt's leggings melted apart from the heat along with all the siding on the front of their house, just a total debacle.

Of course you can. They're only banned in the sense that insurance adjusters will run away screaming.

Joe homeowner doesn't do statistics. What he does do is see the electrician's estimate of several grand.
