Vacuuming out fuel and oil tanks

Sometimes it is nice to vacuum clean out the tanks. No mess no fussing around.

 

Pretty cool is that something you built?

 

I guess you get the "YOU SUCK" award today Kieth!

 

I know a guy that tried to suck out a gas tank with a shop vac. Didn’t work out well for him.

 

Patent Pending Status ??

 

Details please.

 

Looks to be an old milking machine.

 

Winner winner chicken dinner!

 

It's a old milker........it doesn't know what it's milking.
Also it's a awesome brake bleader.

 

I was gonna say, just a giant mityvac!

 

This dude was “building maintenance” or something, basically the owners know it all nephew that couldn’t hold down a real job. One year he was pulling out the snowblower and it didn’t want to run off choke. It was suggested he change the fuel and clean the carb. Removing the 4 bolts that held the fuel tank on was too much for a fella with nothing really to do so he duct taped a piece of garden hose on the end of the shop vac. When the gas vapors got to the motor on the shop vac he got a big surprise, a ride in the ambulance, some skin grafts and a few months off.


Unfortunately he did not learn anything from that experience. A year later the bathroom exhaust fan was making a squeaking noise. He decided to spray brake clean at it while it was on!

 

You can't fix stupid I guess. Lol

 

And sometimes it takes a few tries to “win” the Darwin Award

 

Stupid people should pay more for insurance so the rest of us could get lower rates

 

That's true. Lol. I still haven't gotten mine...
