Just had quite a scare.

[MrBeast]

So I run a small towing company, I have a couple of cars that have been abandoned on my lot. The time has come to take them to scrap. Before I can do so however I had to pull the gas tanks.

First car up was a 95 Ford Escort Wagon. I was working on cutting the exhaust pipe with the trusty blue wrench when all of the sudden the car burst into flames underneath.

Apparently the reason the car was abandoned was because the fuel line had cracked and the car quit. It was impounded from a gas station, and suprise suprise the gas tank was plumb full.

Luckily when ever using the torch I keep a hose near by and I was able to rapidly extinguish the flames that had enveloped the under belly of the car.

The lesson being boys and girls, safety is always important, I was lucky that I planned ahead and brought the hose over, it is a habbit that I got into years ago, today it might have saved my shop, and possibly my life.

Had I not had the hose there I would have had to drag it over and by then it would have been too late and the fire department would have been putting out the car for me.

Please be safe everyone.
