Gas pouring everywhere
You go me laughing on this one... I ran a 1941 Power Wagon for a snow plow for a lot of years. During the summer this beast would just rest down by the creek. One fall I climbed into the beast and it stunk bad. Opened the hood... A golden Mantled Marmot had decided the top of the flathead was home and died there. I got the truck running but the smell of dead animal was over powering me even though I had no door windows or floor. FIX: I got a case of tomato juice and a bunch of tomato paste. Mixed up the batch.... Warmed up the powerwagon. Shut down the beast and dumped the mixture over the top of the flat head... I let it sit for a couple of week. Power washed the engine for the first time ever.... From then on the powerwagon smelled like pizza when it was at operating temp. Kinda strange but much better that rotten marmot. Jay.... aka zdisease
