Well I was driving my moms dog to her and I kept getting this funky smell comming from my slick...A few miles down the road it was getting worse.
I dropped off the dog and man I it was getting really bad. I stoped to get some gas and seen some smoke comming from under my cab.
I bent down to see what it was and oh my god I had left a welding glove wedged on to my gas line in witch it blew onto my exhaust and it was a smoldering right below my gas tank...Man I COULDENT GET IT OUTTA THERE FAST ENOUGH :shock: ...I put it into the bed of the truck and splached a bottle of water onto it and all that was going through my mind was what if I didn't stop...I could of been toast...
So the moral of this story is make sure if you put rags or other fabric up in areas were you need to weld...REMEMBER to take them back out so this dont happen to you.
