I was working a riding mower with a no start problem this past weekend. the combustion chamber was flooded so I removed the spark plug. I was going to pull the rope to blast out the fuel out of the spark plug hole.

This is apparently a no no. The gas was ignited by the spark plug wire. The thing looked like a flame thrower.

Luckily, I had fire extinguisher closeby to kill the fire. This $40 device saved my house!

Everyone should have one in every garage and kitchen.

It scared the living $hit out of me.
