I hate that kinda crap in the news. "The reaction of staff helped save lives"


They turned the pump off. Big fucking deal. You wouldn't exactly expect the goons to turn all the pumps on.

These stories always have to have "heros" even when no one does anything remotely fucking heroic!

20 grand ped - "yes Carole Nash, it was 20 grand.. can I just have the cash back though?" or "yeah its 20 grand BBC because i put a powerpipe on it and its an aerox, so it does 6003 MPH."

yeah petrol got spilt on the hot exhaust.

Nobody thinks of these things when they build peds.
'Lets put the petrol tank under the seat just above the exhaust that would be mounted on the right hand side.'

Well the person whos ped it was wasnt very clever, filling it up from the right hand side. All it takes is a spill from the nozzle onto the exhaust.
And theres alot of plastic to melt on peds

But its all worth the £20,000 lmao

Is it really that dangerous though? Like a tiny amount of petrol drips onto the exhaust, and an explosion is the result? Because I've never really thought of that, although I cant remember ever dripping petrol onto the exhaust.

Thankss

i think they might mean the damage to the petrol pumps and station rather then 20 g for the ped, i hope they do any way
