I'm out busting up the corners and such and I hear this loud thud from the rear trunk. Then "smoke" starts coming up out of the center pad between the seats.
I knew what it was right away. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) My unsecured fire extinguisher blew all over everything. Moon dust... May show pics (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

I have never heard of such a thing happening ever before. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif)
If it ever happened in my rear trunk, I would get that "moon dust" out of there ASAP! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) That "moon dust" is highly corrosive, especially when wetted! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I would go to the "quarter car wash" and vacuum as much out as possible, then rinse with copious amounts of water. When it "didn't happen to me" it did not make a sound, by the way! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) John |

I had one go boom in the locked steel center console of my Jeep, the "POP" was loud enough I though something had gone in the drivetrain... Didn't figure out what it was until the next stop, magically now anything I put in that console comes out with a yellowish white powder on it! |

Moon dust? Oh, I get it now wink wink, nudge nudge. When the officer pulled you over and asked about the white powder you told him it was from the fire extinguisher.

Man, that's got to be a mess, it may take a more than a few quarters at the car wash to clean up. Good thing it was in the trunk and not in the pasenger compartment. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Blow, vacum first , Dont get it wet , Then it gets corrosive.

Engine compartment is good.
Fuel guage is sitting in the front seat. After the haz-mat team is gone, I'll try that next ( spark plug gap, too ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) KT |
