$18 in belts and a $10 ignition switch from a Rodeo (or was it a Passport?) I didn't need and I'm back on the road.
So I decide to drive it to work and being the environmentally consciencious person I am, I load the 5 gallon oil container up in the front floorboard of my truck. The container is a 5 gallon peanut oil container that's square in shape, but is made of pretty thin plastic. When full, the sides sorta bulge.
Went to get a coke at the 7-11 with a co-worker about 10 am, also had to go to the bank, went to bank first then went to get coke at the Shell station instead as it was on the corner. As I turned in I hear this big THUMP. I whip into the parking place and go around to open up the tailgate and about half the oil has poured out all over behind the rear seat and is flowing down the hump to the front. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
I tip the container back up and tell my buddy, we got to go NOW!!! He said why? I said GET IN THE TRUCK!!! We pull out and there is a 4' diameter puddle of oil in the spot.
I don't have any carpet in the truck, but I have some holes rusted out in the floor and this is where it was pouring out from. We drive a couple miles and pull behind our normal 7-11 in an adjacent parking lot. Go inside, get cokes and a bag of kitty litter and go back out to the truck and throw it all over the floorboards.
This should be fun cleaning this mess up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
Oh well, I can't help but laugh about it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> but I haven't had that great of day.
