Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

We know who did it, but we'd rather he gets evicted than have to activate his dental plan. The tank was almost empty when he did it, so we filled up immediately. will the eggs break down in the gas, or is it gonna plug **** up pretty fast?

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

why would you fill it with gas? i would think that as they went down the fuel line, and then to the filter, it would plug up. especially with the shells.

my thought would be to pull the tank and flush it out.

you could start by beating him over the head with the tank to loosen up anything stuck to the inside.

or, you could just light the contents on fire and have scrambled eggs??

sorry, couldn't help myself there....

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

I'd drop the tank before I did anything else.

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

i'm not a violent person, but I'd kick his teeth in with some steel toed boots.
Then drop the tank and flush it.
Egg shells would probably ruin the cylinder walls if they made it that far. I could see seriouse clogging to the fuel screen on the pick up, the filter, the pump, the carb...
kick his ass

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

**** do I wish we lived in Texas. The next time that mother****er walked up to my brothers door to make a noise complaint @ 1 in the afternoon for simply walking (he lives in the basement suite) there'd be one hell of a "self defense" ass whoopin.

On top of that, we don't know what else he dumped in the tank before the eggs, if anything.

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

I think a locking gas cap, a tank flush, and a really big stick are in order. Good luck!

That's not all that bad, old racer trick is to toss a couple in the tank every fill up to bump up the octain. It is rough on the motor, but nothing like an egg shell.

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

man i would nebr have put more gas in it...either remove and clean out old tank,,or go get another one from somewhere...save and strain old gas for lawn mower use during sumer...also for neighbor,,i recommned a gallon of aircraft paint stripper and 4 inch paint brush...or a walk by brake fluid throw...
not to say i have ever doen any of this ever,,but either or does work pretty effectivly..but mainly i had a customer that owed me for a landscapeing job..after 1 /12 yrs of trying to collect, i just happened to catch his car in the drive way..i love paint stripper...he know i did it,,but cant prove it...it was my fualt for taking the job before i got liscensed to do that kinda work...oh well,,DONT DO ANYTHING TO BREAK THE LAW, and now adays you could get killed over somthing stupid, so best to just get another tank, and wait for revenge when you move..

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

Personally, i'd siphon out what's in the tank, pull it and have it flushed.

Can you prove that mofo did it?

Throw some bologna on his car, and see if the oil really makes the paint bubble up

Bacon and Ham maybe? I guess that would be Bacon and Canadian Bacon

sorry but I had too.... I would drop the tank, drain the gas (tempting to dump it on his ride, but it's the revenge that the cops always find out about) send the bill to oyur landlord and tell him that the co-tenant did it. Some leases have clauses against breaking the law, might get him evicted. Then hide your car and padlock your belongings until he moves...

I agree let the cops handle it and have the person arrested for destruction of property and make then sue them to pay for the cost of damages.

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

I guess I am a real a$$, I would take the tank off and probably invite the fellow to clean it out or be physically induced into a horizontal condition. The fellow seems to like doing things like this and should relaize the errors of his ways.

The keyword in that sentence is a "couple." A whole boat load of them would be interesting to see. An eggshel the filter can stop(and stop the filtering eventually,) Its the white/yoke hardening up with heat that would make life really fun(asuming it can get past the pickup screen, if it still exists)

Re: Eggs In The Gas Tank

For revenge, as everyone else has already given such great advice, go to the local store that sells hunting products. Buy you some skunk cover scent. Looks good already, huh? Get a syringe with a small needle (like a diabetic would use). Fill the syringe with the skunk scent. Go up to 'ol boy's car and insert the needle thru the weather stripping around the window. Squeeze until empty. Walk away laughing.

If you do this he will never be able to sit in that car again (especially in the summer), and no-one will ever buy it from him either. He will end up scrapping it.

It works!

Being the over-reactive person that I am, if I were your brother, I'd be out on bail right now. Having been charged with aggravated assault. I'd have beat his a$$ til he didn't even know his own name.
