Fire Extinguishers

Would have near cooked the mouse to Bro.

Castrol/BP are now putting "Do Not Cut" warnings on their 44's now.

They must have read Andy's post on this forum!

Now if they are really reading this how about a fuel discount for us old truck nuts!

What do you reckon Bruce . Should only pay the price that fuel was when the truck was new .;/ Ian .

Hello, Off topic, however my Guy was owned by Alan Smith of Buntine, he could take an 18 ft double deck of sheep to Midland saleyards then fuel up at Gingers Upper Swan 175 miles [300 ks] cost 31 shillings and sixpence.
Now to my suspect maths. Truck does 14 mpg loaded so it would use 12.5 gals [57ltrs] I get 2&6d per gal =5.55 cents per litre.
I remember travelling to the Pilbara 1966, petrol was 5 shillings a gallon, nearly double what we were used to. Cheers, David

Well, here's another one caught again, cutting open a 200 litre drum. I hope Joe saw this.
A little Tamil bloke, working for a local powdercoating mob, set to with an angle grinder, last Wednesday morning, to rip the top off a 200L drum .. and paid the ultimate price.
I'll wager there'll be hell to pay now, over Diamond Powdercoaters, safety training deficiencies ..

Have heard of a bloke using a can of beer apparently give her a shake, just crack it so it foams nicely and aim it, CO2. Also used to work well with the missus, just tell her your getting a half dozen fire extiguishers

Dry powder is good but you gotta take the extinguisher outa the truck every couple of weeks and give it a good shake. If you don't do this, all the powder settles and packs in the bottom of the extinguisher from all the road vibrations and stuff, and when you go to use it, all that comes out is the gas (usually nitrogen).

It would have to be a real bad expensive type fire to even consider wastin' a can of beer on it.
