Deadeyes Crash..Plus his Spontaneous Fazer Combustion incident.

[Dead Eye]

Where?

If you mean, where am I, then I am out of shot to the left by the house (hidden by the truck) trying to explain to the Fire Chief "why he has a fire on his hands" and that they should be damn careful because there is a 1/4 filled fuel tank just inside the garage door...

Yup, the thread title is misleading as Mr Nog forgot about the fire incident that I was referring to.

This was 5 days after I had moved in to the property (18th October 2012)...

And here is the aftermarth...

[noggythenog]

I tweeked it now :thumbup


Anyone got a light???? mokin

[rustyrider]

Searched and found nothing.  I have to ask, How?

[Chris]

Those pictures are a bit scary! Just nipping out to check the shed...

Chris

[fazersharp]

That will pollish out

[Exupnut]

Hahahahahaha

[fazersharp]

You can see all the bits that had ACF-50 on them because they are untouched

[His Dudeness]

That's what happens when you let Chuck Norris clean your bike

[fazersharp]

I think the top cam covers look good in matt black
I might do the same with mine---------- although I will use paint and not fire

:rollin

[kitcrazy]

holy shit not good what started it? :eek

[richfzs]

What started it.... :rollin

Sorry kitcrazy, not laughing at the question, more the answer....

Take an orbital sander, attach it to the bottom (outside) of a big plastic box so it agitates the box and contents. Fill box with coke, and some parts you want to clean. Pretend it's like a parts washer, and leave to brew...

Did I get that about right, Mr Deadeye? :rollin

[rustyrider]

So what caught fire?  The orbital sander or the coke (I assume we are talking Coca Cola here and not any other sort of coke....)?

Yeah... that's pretty much spot on... it sounds more stupid when you read it out loud...

I blame the use of Dr. Pop instead of Coca-Cola... this was surely the main reason for the failure! Me and my friends regret not using Dr. Pepper... can you imagine sending this in under their "what's the worst that could happen" slogan?  :rollin :rollin :rollin

The only thread about it that I can find, is this one - http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,5294.0.html

I'm sure there was another somewhere :\

I have absolutely no idea... no investigation was undertaken (probably a good thing)

It may well not have been my fault at all... but that scenario is rather unlikely, all things considered

[richfzs]

I would hazard a guess, the sander overheated and torched itself (dunno if these things will have a thermal cutout, but if not, they're designed to be used in air and being moved through that air, so they'll get some cooling from that?). Then the box would have melted, dropping the liquid all over the burning electrics...

Disclaimer : I'm just some idiot commenting on the Internet, i have no quals or experience in fire cause  investigation :rollin

[Dead Eye]

You are more than likely correct, or something along those lines at least

But since there was no proof or factual evidence, I can still testify that it MAY not have been fault... I just accept that it PROBABLY was

[His Dudeness]

It was a mad accident in fairness. 99 times out of 100 if you left a sander on too long nothing would happen nevermind the whole place catching fire.
