Honda EU3000i explodes!....GIF at 11
 

I swear it wasn't my fault!.....

I pulled my stepvan into a Sunoco station to refill the Honda EU3000i
electronic genset with gas. The genset had been pulling the two 8000 Btu
Korean ACs for a few hours while I was on the road fixing things, so I
figured, rightly, it was low on golden liquid. $12 later, VISA, I was
about to close the weather cover so wanted to crank her back up to continue
cooling the shop. Unusually, she didn't crank on the first few strokes, so
I waited a second and gave her some choke, figuring it was so hot the gas
had vaporized in the carb bowl. I suppose I was right....(c;

BOOM! A HUGE blast in the big muffler followed by smoke coming out of the
cabinet as she cleared her throat! The fumes trapped in the muffler must
have reached critical mass and went off....just like an old Ford with the
spark lever set in the wrong place....

The hilarious part, at least from my view on Pump 4 was the scream from the
sweet-young-thing filling her Ford Exploder on Pump 5 (the other side of
Pump 4). I did everything I could to keep from holding my stomach and
rolling on the ground in uproarious laughter when I looked around that pump
and saw she'd PEED HER PANTS...I really did.

I failed, but got around behind the van out of her sight before I couldn't
hold it any more. Two other guys had seen it and they were just in tears
roaring in mirth.

I apologized, profusely, albeit a little late, for her shock just about the
time she hung up the hose just before she roared out of there in her wet
panties. All hell broke lose at the pumps after she was gone. None of us
could look at each other without just bursting out laughing. My stomach
still hurts hours later....(c;

If she's seeing this, I really am sorry it popped and you peed. I hope
you'll forgive all of us. We weren't laughing at you, per se........

......that's bull****...The look on her face was PRICELESS!!...HA HA HA HA

Damn Larry, you're a real barrel of laughs what with exploding things
at the gas pumps and all. Wish I'd been there, off a bit, with a cool
beer watching it all. That must have been a real sight.

There's many things that just happen. The genset never made this kind of
impromptu bomb before. It hasn't happened since (no matter how hard I
try).

Stupid ass Willy says "grow up"? Has he got a MIRROR?!

There was no girl; it was actually Larry who wet himself, and worse.

Believe me Larry, I can see the humor in it. Just not the need to
laugh in her face and in public.

Hey, he said he went behind his truck first. Maybe he did take too
much delight in the girl's reaction, but I think he's exaggerating
some anyway, which most stories deserve.
I just don't want his damn exploding generator next to me at the gas
pump.
Any fire shoot out the exhaust, Larry?

No, the muffler is inside the quiet cabinet and its exhaust outlet is
buried behind it in the cooling airflow. All I saw was some smoke probably
caused by the explosion burning whatever soot was inside the muffler.

It has a Forest Service spark arrester screen on it, inside......or had....

My now 32 year old daughter was ten years old when we were visiting a
Zoologist friend for dinner. In his home he had a large glass tank
with a couple of crayfish amongst other marine creatures. My daughter,
who was very familiar with biology and crayfish because of me said
"Oh, look at their large testicles" - meaning of course to say
"tentacles" (Yes, she should have said "antennae").

We all cracked up (collapsed in mirth to you foreigners) laughing at
the same time as she realised what she had said and went bright
scarlet. She rushed from the room into the night and sat in the back
seat of the car with the doors locked. No amount of coaxing could move
her from sitting there with her hands over her face. We had to go
home earlier than anticipated. I love my daughter but I still could
not stop outbursts of innane laughter as we drove home, even though
she was in tears.

Yes, perhaps we should not have laughed, but we all remember it to
this day and now, even she sees the humour.

Larry was not laughing at the girl. I don't believe he is that type of
person. What he was laughing at is the intense humour of the
situation. I also would not have been able to control myself.

I think I'd have had to change my tighty-whities. ;-)
