An Explosion Waiting To Happen

[Hardrock69]

SO I am driving to the slave pit about half an hour ago.

On the highway I suddenly smell gas.

The smell is STRONG.

Naturally thoughts turn to failure of my engine, a fuel line leaking, whatever.

Engine is purring along, so I just keep driving.

Then I notice the vehicle ahead of me. Exhaust is coming out the back.

No, wait a minute.....that is not smoke....that is SPRAY.

Dude has a serious gas leak from bottom of the TANK!



I even took video, as I figured the guy quite possibly was going to become Human BBQ in no time flat. He was in front of me for 5 minutes before I got to my exit.

He went on.

I am expecting to read about a car fire in the news later today or in tomorrow's paper.

Eek. Did you try to get his attention to alert him to the leak?

No kidding. In addition to snapping a picture, did you bother trying to alert the guy or the highway patrol?

[Hardrock69]

Yeah. Pointed at the rear of his vehicle, but he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about, then my exit was there, and I had to get off the freeway.
