alternative way to get fuel into engine

[scottyhatchi]

Hi everyone well all attempts of finding sum1 local to pop their tank on mine to test have failed . so i was wondering can i submerge the 2 pipes that go on fuel tank into a tub of fuel and start the engine that way will it work ??

I smell desperation. I think what your suggesting wont work as you need the vacuum to draw the fuel in. It may be worth a try though, but I would suggest having the bucket higher than the bike so it's gravity fed rather than it have to be drawn up.

Or just fill your float bowls in the carbs. It will give you enough to start the bike and hear the cans briefly.

Yep, I have burnt of the fuel in the float bowls with no tank and no air-filter.

Try not to disturb your immediate neighbours and have a fire extinguisher handy just in case ... and let's see the resulting youtube vid

Short– term effects

People inhale through the mouth or nose using either a cloth soaked in petrol or a small container filled with petrol. Petrol goes from the lungs to the bloodstream and then into the brain. There it slows down brain activity and depresses the central nervous system in a similar way to alcohol. Within seconds the person can feel euphoric, relaxed, dizzy, numb and light. They may also experience:

hallucinations
aggression
increased libido
hunger
lack of coordination, staggering
disorientation
slurred speech
coughing, wheezing
vomiting
slow reflexes

They may look like someone who is drunk on alcohol but act a bit more strangely. Sometimes you can smell the strong odour of petrol on them. These effects can last up to an hour, and longer if they keep sniffing. In serious cases people may have fits.

It is possible to die from sniffing the first time because the petrol is taking the place of oxygen in the blood and not enough oxygen is being taken to the brain. People have died this way from sniffing with a jumper or blanket around their head because it stops oxygen getting to the lungs.

People have died from doing exercise like running or playing football straight after sniffing. The combined stress of sniffing and exercise put too much pressure on the heart.

Many people who sniff have suffered serious burns or death because the petrol caught fire. Sniffing around any flames or fire is very dangerous.

I love the smell of petrol. Didn't realise there was people that sniffed it like glue though. some nice side effects there. Increased libido. Ooo err misses, been on the petrol tonight love.

Just be a bit careful Scott it is an explosive substance. The fumes that is, not the liquid. So if you are going to have large amounts of petrol indoors. Obviously don't smoke, and it may be a good idea to not have any electrics on like lights, or the the cooker on or something and open some windows. Just use a bit of common sense and think about what your doing mate. Don't know if you have ever noticed but in petrol stations they even request for mobile phones not to be used as there the possibility they can even spark something off.

Did you ever see the Mythbusters episode when they tried to get petrol vapour to explode using a mobile? They couldn't get it to go even trying some real convoluted methods.

I like that program but no I've not seen that one. So it's a myth then.

I would love to work on a program like that, I would make a good mad scientist. Though I may have to grow some whiskers to qualify.
