Gotta tell off on ya.
Dan Flynn calls me about 3 weeks ago, tells me to get over there with the rig, he has some experimenting to do.
So over the river and thru the Woodlands, to Dans house i go. So i get there and find out we are going to wash the roof of his new mansion. Ok with me.
We are just washing away, having a big time, both on roof, and wouldn't you know it, my machine ran out of gas. He looks at me and asked if i have any more gas.
I said of course not.
So, after a few minutes of digging around in the back of his truck, he emerges with some form of gas can.
Few minutes later, i hear the pw start up and run for a few seconds then die. WHATS UP WITH THAT?
I go down the ladder. We stare at it for a few minutes, try it again. Nothing.
So out comes the tools. We check the plugs. We check the air filter. We check the fuel filter. We recheck the plugs, yep, they are firing.
So we decide its time to call Hydro-Tek. They get us to check the plugs, fuel filter, remove the air filter, shoot some carb cleaner down in it. By this time the battery is dead. Dans hooking up the jumper cables.
Finally, It doesn't start. Nothing. NADA. KAPUT.
I am jacking with the fuel filter and i smell my hand, and smells like gas, but not very strong. I asked Dan where he got the gas, and he said CHICAGO!!!!
So we drain a little gas, and (don't try this at home kids, we are professionals) light it with a lighter. DOESN'T BURN. Not even a little.
So we drain the tank, take the plugs out, blow out all the WATER/Sodium Hydroxide, or whatever it was, put in some TEXAS gas, and low and behold, she starts.
The moral of the story is: If Dan has Gas
, DO NOT go to his house.
