I got a good deal on my 356 when I went to buy it, the car sat for three years, seller was pouring a little cas out of an open can to prime the motor while I cranked, I warned him of back fire and to stay clear. we tried several times, the motr starting to run fuel line from tank was clogged, hence we wanted to see if shed run on the prime.
soon after cranbking it and getting it to start, I see an orange glow on the dash, I look in the mirror and see flames, i get out and the seller is in the street on fire, pants on fire!!! he is running around fanning the flames, ouch , screaming on what to do, After some couching to get down and roll, he finaly does (he was in a panac, and latter told me he knows what to do, but forgot in the panic!) he jumped when the car backfired, and dumped the open can of gas on himself, and it cuaght fire! the fire melted some of the cars paint (it was in primer, no big deal) but he got ssome nice blisters on his legs, he felt no pain at first, and but ended up going to the hospital. he survived ok, and I got the car for a fire sale price! gasoline is dangerous too. |
