Thread: WARNING - Don't repair the Landy in the Lounge

The toilet thing is not possible according to Mythbusters.

Never let the true get in the way of a good story though

Have a look here: snopes.com: Toilet Explosion

since petrol fumes are explosive with the right concentration of oxigen, I would have though this explosion was possible-- even if that story was actually made up as the above post indicates.

Certainly I did TAFE welding courses where we were told of the explosion danger of welding containers that had once contained volitile petrol and other volitile substances.

And we were told of deaths from such explosions.

Exactly...

SWMBO does not see it this way for some reason. I have been known to bring mine or her bike inside to clean it or work on it on a really hot or cold day (When she is not home...). She knows that I do this from time to time, but she is usually less than impressed, even if her bike ends up sparkling clean from a good 4 or 5 hour polish...

Evidently, using the dishwasher to clean your parts is a no no too...

Who woulda thought???
