Haven't done it with the oil yet but I have done that with the fuel, dumped it right out onto my tailgate.
Oh boy, that's fun, been there done that. I prefer warm oil, and that's happened a few times, its part of the ''job'' i guess you could say. I just think, this is part of it, and try not to do it twice in one day, lol. Ever throw the saw up on your shoulder and feel that luke warm oil run down your back, and on your neck? that's fun.
Yuuup rt down my leg too, we just get so excited that we want to get back cutting. I tell my wife the story the last time and she says sooooo you let me wash them in with the other clothes and i say uuuummmm maybe. CHRIS YOU ARE A DUMBASS
I'd just keep wearing them as is. After all, this is winter in New England where they douse the roads with salt. Those pants won't be rusting out anytime soon.
Don't worry Brad, it happens to the best of us at some point. I bet you won't do it again for a while.
Well the bright side is at least you didn’t put the chain oil in the gas and vice Versa. I have done that and it was super annoying lol
I touch a pin size dot of oil or grease and before you know it everything's covered... We use orange clean waterless hand cleaner and work it in good with a brush and stains usually come out like they weren't there. Some times if we have lanolin hand cleaner that gets put in the wash too 1\4 cup of that goes a long way as well.
With me ya never know. I have a normal MO for fueling procedure on my tailgate. The last two times i used the saw it was very brief and didnt fuel up prior to starting. It ran out and i gassed up on my front steps and it had started to snow and i was worrying about running out for bread and milk! Maybe im just making excuses, i mean i'm only human after all. AND im over 50!
Gonna try to make ya feel better I lit old poulan on fire once. I filled it out of a friends gas can and it was bad gas the saw wouldn't run for the world so I popped the gas cap and started to dump the gas back into the can. meanwhile my buddy walked over with his Coleman screw top burner heating his coffee not 2' from the can I was pouring into. POOF up went the saw which I threw into the brush pile that then started to burn. luckily the can didn't go up..... Guess who's coffee got used to put that out.... I grabbed the saw again and threw it in the mud puddle about 5' away which put it out. After pulling the plug and drying the cylinder out that old saw fired up and ran just fine but it did get a new side cover off the craftsman parts saw I had to replace the melted one. Same saw different skin.
These were almost brand new. If they were old, out they go. Black Friday sale from mfr. Ive tried to buy at SA but my size must be common, can never find them. Im the type too that uses something til it almost falls apart
As much as I hate to admit it, the geezer factor does make a difference... I'm still kickin' and screamin', but not as fast or as loud as I used too... I catch myself forgetting stupid little things way too often when I have my mind on other things... Multi-tasking with a chainsaw in your hand is never a good thing.
I got one better Pallet Pete , lit myself on fire! I was doing a roof job. Had to reuse the old flashing collar for the stove pipe. It has some asphalt cement on it. Using the mini torch to soften and scrape. Then was using Goof off solvent (i believe its xylene) to remove more. Getting rather monotonous and i accidently caught a rag on fire, drop it to the ground and stomp it out. After my heart stops racing i feel a burning sensation on my leg. My pants had caught fire when i stomped out the burning rag!!! Luckily it was on the ground and no one saw it...i think, i hope!
