Aaaaaarrrgggg!!!!!!!
AAAAAARRRGGGG!!!!!!! I have to rant. Went down to the hardware store in my truck. Someone came in and said, "Someones chevy pickup is leaking gas!" I went out and sure enough, gas was pouring out from a cracked hose coming from under the gas tank.
I crawled underneath and pulled the hose, stopped the gas with my finger, and one of the guys from the hardware store ran over to a nearby Firestone to get some gas hose. All the gasoline melted the asphalt and got a ton of tar in my shoulder length hair. Had to put a bunch of Gojo in it to get it out, and it's still not out. Probaly time for a haircut anyway. Seems the PO put in a new exhaust system, and the mufflers were right underneath the hose coming out of the gastank. Totally cooked it. At least I wasn't on the freeway...

Good thing some environmentalist didn't see it, a Hazmat incident would have been started.
It's great to live in "The Peoples Republic Of California"!!

Glad you didn't burn up or catch Fire. Glad the truck is still alive for you.

Re: Aaaaaarrrgggg!!!!!!!
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm very lucky it didn't catch fire. Finally got the rest of the tar out of my hair, and no I don't have a mullet...
