Frank DuVal Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 You mean the little yellow vents? I bought some several years ago, and converted most of my modern "cans" to actually vent! So much easier.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 🙂 Along with the old-style flex tubes that conveniently screw right on in place of the pushbutton fumble tubes. Amazing how a "water can" spout works so nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 WOW, only in Nashville, you will not believe what just happened 15 minutes ago. So I pulled into the gas station to get some gas, and a bottled water. I was going in to pay, I noticed the Police parked on the side of the building. He was watching this woman who was smoking a cigarette while she was pumping gas. Of course I saw her, and thought, this lady's gotta be dumb as a rock, and the cop is right there too! But anyways, I went inside and got my water, and paid for my gas. As the cashier was giving me my receipt, I heard somebody screaming. I looked out the door, and the woman's arm was on fire! She was swinging her arm, and running around like crazy! I ran outside to help the police, he had just put the lady on the ground, and was putting the fire out with his coffee! He then handcuffed her, and put her in the back of his police car. I was wondering, "What kind of person smokes while pumping gas, thinking nothing's going to happen? So, being the person that I am, I asked the officer what he was charging her with? He looked me dead in my face, and said, "WAVING A FIREARM!"

The weight of that much liquid would flatten those little Austin Sevrns, let alone render them unmovable under their own power. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly not gasoline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day before natural gas and natural gas pipelines were everywhere, coal gas was the thing. In Great Britain during the war the gasoline/petrol shortage created all kinds of innovated ways to keep taxis and busses running. Coal gas was used in the United States in the days before natural gas for street and home lighting. Every town and city had their own gas works for just that reason. We, in the United States and probably other countries are still suffering from that system. Most of the original gas works locations in cities and towns are super fund sites and are in a constant ground cleaning action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Well, since the topic has drifted away from the East Coast fuel crisis that seems to have evaporated faster than a gallon of gasoline, enjoy reading more about those "gas-bag" cars mentioned above- https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2011/11/gas-bag-vehicles.html Also popular in Europe was the car fired by gas produced by wood burning. https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2010/01/wood-gas-cars.html Both technologies leave a lot to be desired, not to mention the safety aspects or the aesthetics. Examples of these cars survive in several museums, including the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville Tn. Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
