As I was getting the ol' 70cc warmed up today, peddling around the neighborhood and taking it real easy, I ran out of gas. I figured I'd put the rest of the pre-mix in there to top it off and make room in my can for a new batch. I started her back up and headed down the road to my grandmother's house; a few hundred yards into my 1 mile trip I looked down and saw all sorts of lovely vibrating and globulating droplets of gasoline pouring out around the cap, down the tank, over the frame, onto my legs, and anywhere else it fancied.
Needless to say, I didn't want to bring the intoxicating smell of gasoline inside as an xmas gift this particular eve; even though I had on the cold-weather coveralls, a bit had seeped through to my regular pants. I headed back home, changed, drained some gas out, and headed back over. No problems on the second run.
Sorry Heath, your beautiful paint-job may need a bit of touch up. It's not too bad, and it was wiped off within minutes, but the gasoline still got a chance to work it's gas-o-rific magic on the finish.
Anyone else experienced this?
come to think of it, is "globulating" even a word?
I hope everyone has experienced a (holy)day brimming with peace.
