The Guy Next Door From Our Workshop Was A Mate And When He Put A Rock Through His Sump I Said Yeah Mate No Worries Ill Weld It Up For You. Instead Of Pulling The Sump I Will Save Time Drain The Oil And Weld It In Place , So I Started Welding And After 20 Seconds (when The Oil Vapors Reached Flashpoint) There Was An Almighty Explosion Which Knocked Me To The Ground, Burnt 20% Of My Hair And Embedded Shrapnell Into My Helmit. After The Inital Shock I Had To Laugh Because What Was A Hole The Size Of A Twenty Cent Piece Was Now The Size Of A Dinner Plate!!! The Next Couple Of Hours Involved Replacing The Sump With A Second Hand One We Found At The Wreckers. One Thing I Havent Mentioned Yet Is The Noise An Exploding Sump Makes Is Like Standing Behind A Jet Engine . I Was Permantly Hearing Impared From That Day
