Imagine that. . . Had to get around and service the Transtar because of a
bad fuel pump at my Texaco Station display. Everything was going just fine,
removed the old pump, cleaned off the old gasket even had a box under the
Transtar to catch any gas that wanted to leak from the line. . .none, well
at this point. Got the new pump back on started to reconnect the fuel lines
and gas just started pouring and would not stop. It was at least five
minutes to get that line to attach but it felt like a half an hour. Meantime
the box was soaked with gas and since the Display is in the main part of out
production area everyone was yelling. Well, I got the line on and I hurried
and got the gas soak box out from under the Transtar and got it outside,
started wiping up the extra gas that soak through the box and I started push
paint from our chemical resistant floor ruining a 3'x4' section of display
floor. Yes it something that I can fix pretty easily but for doing something
the I have done, a couple dozen times in life and not having any problems
sure does make for a whole lot of stink in the air.

You're supposed to tell those screaming, "Gas.  Of course you smell gas,
what do you think this thing runs on... coal?".  Per Barney Fife.

Hmmm....
No gas came out of the line (while it was disconnected) and then, when you
were manipulating the line, it started flowing and wouldn't stop?
Wonder if the pump was bad?
Maybe just a clogged line?
You need a webcam there, Rick... You really do!
