Tips & tricks - Lesson learned today (again)
Just though I'd post this lesson. When working under your bakkie or anywhere where there is small particles that can fall into your eye, where safety glasses. Usually this wouldn't have bothered me. I'm almost used to the odd piece of mud falling into my eye. But my current project is to redo the fuel hoses front to back and redoing the long range tank pipe work etc. An I was the lucky one to receive about 5 drops of petrol into my right eye No that nice I must admit but had I been wearing safety glasses...... :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

:wth: Is your eye OK??
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Sorry for that one Cassie, hope it was unleaded, the leaded fuel is heavier, so it falls harder
Re: Tips & tricks - Lesson learned today (again)
Amen to the safety goggles...
Had the same experience, shame Cassie, all that petrol wasted...

Ja nee die oog is darem 100% Omtrent die hele Benoni se reservoir water op gebruik om my oog uit te spoel...
Maar dit is soos Ewald sê, daai was nou onnodige mors van petrol
Die funny ding is ek het seker so 20min daarvoor vir my safety brille gekyk en gewik en weeg of ek dit moet opsit...
Nick.... dit was nadat julle weg is. Seker so 2 ure daarna.

Daai is seker een van die mees amazingste dinge. Benoni se kraan water proe na niks. Dit is seker die skoonste kraan water wat ek van weet wat nog dieselfde proe as 20 jaar terugchopper wrote:Meer bekommerd oor wat se erge skade die munisipale water aan jou oog veroorsaak het!

Re: Tips & tricks - Lesson learned today (again)
Ek is een van daai tipe manne wat sweet selfs al dink ek net aan werk so 'n bril is vir my 'n groot "evil". Die oog is nie baie happy met my vanoggend nie. Lekker seer maar lyk darem nie asof my sig enigsins belemmer is nie.
Nou wonder, ek moet weer vandag onder die bakkie in om die jobbie klaar te maak, sal ek die brille aan sit?

Re: Tips & tricks - Lesson learned today (again)
Nog 'n ding wat ek vandag geleer het is dat as jou "gut feeling" vir jou sê diskonnekteer die battery wanneer jy aan die alternator werk.... luister!!! Gedog ek kan die alternator los maak en wangle om gou 'n nuwe voltage regulator op te sit sonder om hom iewers teen die body uit te short.... wrong!!!

I had petrol run down my arm & into my armpit while fitting the EFI last month & am STILL waiting for the hair to grow back. Too afraid to raise my arm to volunteer for anything in case people think I'm underage.

Luckily I didn't have stick on hair so it did not come off
I'm wondering how you could have lost your underarm hair? Really the first time I hear of petrol causing that effect when it is not lit (I used Unleaded... that's maybe why)

Re: Tips & tricks - Lesson learned today (again)
The safety glasses thing is actually quite an issue with me. I have several pairs in the workshop, all with scratched lenses. Invariably they get put down somewhere after use, and even when hung up again, collect dust that scratches the lenses a little each time they get wiped when I want to use them. The cheapies don't last long either before they're scratched or the head-band loses it's elasticity. I now keep a few new ones in my office so that there is always a useable set available although I mostly prefer using a full face shield. I'm not a 'sweatter' so don't have big issues with the misting up thing, but woodwork activities foul them up quickly .... can be irritating, but rather that than eye / facial damage.
