That's some tasty looking fuel.


no it was on the kart as it was still inside the van with me fiddling with both the fuel lines and the valve for the compressor. Having one of the lines pop out of the jerry can pissing fuel everywhere at the start wasn't as bad as the realization that I was pretty much vaporizing the gas in an enclosed space as I got to the bottom of the tank.


Yeah this was another afterthought that fuel tanks don't usually operate on positive pressure and it could've ended very badly.

Yeah, gasoline vapour and a healthy supply of fresh air in a sealed container is a recipe for reminding you of the fleeting nature of life.
