So here is my day so far. My portable used tank was full. It empty's through a valve and a hose using air pressure. You close the main valve from the drain pan hook up your and turn the air valve on. Of course with the hose in a empty container.
The main valve failed.
Oil departed the drain pan at 100 psi.
I was standing beside the tank.
Ceiling covered in oil. I was covered in oil. The Vettes cover took some collateral damage. And of course the garage floor was swi in used oil.
On a related note are the soft factory car covers washable?
That's HORRIBLE!!Partial clean up and my ceiling.View attachment 37916View attachment 37915

Car was covered and a ways away. A few oil spots on the one side of the cover. The Vette was pretty safe. The ceiling took the main blast going straight up.Never have I had a Tool Stuck Off My Christmas Want List sooooo fast … Wow

CORONA beer I hope.Well..... Day 10 and still feeling fine... Best guess is we avoided contamination on the way home..... Hoorah !
Sunny here again today and I was outside when I noticed I had a visitor standing in the yard... He was wearing snowshoes so he obviously had snuck around my gate.
Said he heard I was into music and asked if he could jam with me a bit. I told him I was in isolation due to the Covid 19 virus scare but he said "sno problem" so I said sure and we went into the man cave for some tunes. As it was, he only knew one song. Something about a guy named Frosty but it was a good tune. Was all kewl and we were drinking beer and having a good time until I noticed he was peeing on my floor. That was it. I told him he had to leave. He appears to be sticking around outside but doesn't seem to be causing any problems so I told him he could stay just until it got warmer. Here's a pic....

Ok next most important question ...
Beside having to remedy the obvious mess, are you OK?
Good thing you didn’t take your regular flight back @Rruuff Day - New Air Canada Humanitarian Flight PolicyAs long as the beer and Woodfords hold out for 4 more days I'm better than good....
Even when they are disembarking passengers in Gimli Manitoba.......No worry there.... Had my new flight boarding passes with United when Air Canada sent me a text... We regret to inform you your original flight has been cancelled... Not so much as an indication they were trying to reschedule something for me or anything... Totally a ' you are $hit outta luck' text... Air Canada is all smiles and service until they have your money....
Even when they are disembarking passengers in Gimli Manitoba.......
Lol. No. However am well acquainted with the flight and the issues. Math is hard.....Ahhhhhh.... the Gimli Glider.... This is you pilot. Sorry to all passengers but we ran out of fuel and have to glide in to a race track in Gimli Manitoba... HANG ON!..... Glad I wasn't on that flight.... errrr.... you weren't the pilot by any chance Al?....
