Elky and I did a tune-up to my car. Plugs wire, air filter, fuel filter, PCV. Went well... except when we found out that a duratec will run on four cylinders.  Not well, but it'll run.
Oh yeah... Elky almost lit himself on fire.  Kinda singed near the eyebrows, and most of his eyelashes are gone. Most people would NOT try to blow out a foot and a half wide fire.

garage isnt heated, but it is warmer than outside.
yeah me ok.
no pics.
some slightly charred eyerows and shorter eyeashes now.
it was pretty impressive though.
i used my yellow drain pan to catch the fuel from the fuel filter.
well, now how do you get rid of extra fuel?
BURN IT!!!!
so i poured it out into the snow and lit it, well, the drain pan was too close and filled up with fire while i was holding it.
so me being the genius that i am, decided to try and blow it out.
that backfired.
i ended up with a face full of fire. (not Cool)
so i turned the pan upside down and put it inthe snow.
the fire was still coming out eh drain spout.
so i steppedon the botton of the pan forcing the flames to shoot out the spout.
(that was cool)
and that was our excitement for today!
hehe

Actually I had to point out to him that his face had been engulfed in flames. He didn't seem to notice. I should have grabbed his camera once he started to go out back with the drain pan and a butane torch. I mean, seriously, who wouldn't add it together and not expect those results.
