Hi

I have just been out to get my Truck ready for tomorow, well ready in a fashion as you do, and thought I filled my jerry can with petrol the other day, on the way back from Llandudno, but never used it as shortly after I broke down. Thought I never put my lead substitute in, so cracked the lid, and boy was it under pressure, from filling it at about 7am, and then all the heat we have had, it must have expanded, about a litre sprayed up and out, all over the truck, my top, tarmacaden drive and most of all in my face, what a nast taste. What do they put in Petrol to give it the vile taste, obviously to stop peaople swallowing it.

Boy I do smell now, looks like another shower, that is 3 today!

Cheers

Dave

The two things I hate working with - petrol and brake fluid, yukkkk. I don't mind old oil too much (although I try to avoid getting covered in it, for obvious reasons)
