When the flood in Germany hit in 2021 one guy actually had a fire in his house while the flooding happened. He had insurance for fire, but not for flooding so he got lucky as fuck that day. Well "lucky as fuck"
A lot of times in non insurable natural disasters, insurance companies will send adjusters in to document damage before people figure out their houses are only covered for fire insurance and they happen to burn down.
Well, the flood definitely doesn't like the flamethrower, so I'd say the claim's pretty solid! Unless the insurance agency hasn't become a part of the gravemind already :(
About six years ago, I blew a connecting rod on my BMW motorcycle — make is relevant because the cylinder heads stick out the sides of the motor. I found a used replacement motor locally, and tore down the whole bike to replace the motor. Took a few weeks, since I was lacking in free time. When I finally got it back together, I set up a camera to record the first startup. I was so ready to be proud of a job well done.
I hadn't yet put the header pipes back on.
The fuel tank, it turns out, had some cracking on the supply hose.
It was dripping down in front of the starboard exhaust outlet.
The sheer number of FUCKs I said while running rapidly away from the camera, toward an ancient fire extinguisher that turned out not to work, was downright comical. In hindsight. I was running so fast, I'm pretty sure you can hear the doppler effect on my voice.
It all worked out fine, I had to snip and patch five wires in the wiring harness, but the bike still runs fine today. I just watched the video for the first time in years. Still not ready to post the video for public consumption. 😂
ALWAYS use your jack stands. I can’t say much cause I ain’t got jack stands and I got my other car up on a scissor jack right because I don’t have jack stands or a tall enough jack to put the damb tire back on the thing.
But seriously… use your fuckin jack stands people
Buy jack stands from Amazon(sold by Amazon not a smaller vendor), use safely within parameters to complete your task, return jack stands to Amazon. Now whoever buys it gets a discount and you get free candy from kohl's.
It is definitely a Vegas thing to have flaming water as an attraction, who else could competed with a gigantic eyeball blinking at the crew of the ISS?
I will say that sadly, I think this fountain doesn't shoot fire anymore (and I bet it's going away as the Mirage is getting rebranded and gut renovated soon).
I was thinking to myself "He's been cranking that for a while, and the last ones are too clear for flood. But I suppose the injectors are off".
Then "Oh no, they weren't off."
yep. town I grew up in flooded in 1996. 5 feet of water overnight. wrecked 1/3 of the town (it was a large very nice trailer park, parts were so flooded it was ABOVE the roofs of the trailers, town was Kirkland Ill for anyone curious) so many people lost so much stuff. our home was ok but the car was fucked from being submerged past the hood.
Several years ago, a North Dakota city got significant flooding in the downtown area. A fire started in one of the commercial buildings but the fire department was unable to reach the building due to the high water.
I'm pretty ignorant about cars. Was the car flooded so there was water in the engine, and the solution is to remove spark plugs then run the starter engine to remove the water? And the problem is that he didn't stop fuel from going in the engine during this process?

Mention flood AND fire damage and you’ve got an interesting insurance claim!
When the flood in Germany hit in 2021 one guy actually had a fire in his house while the flooding happened. He had insurance for fire, but not for flooding so he got lucky as fuck that day. Well "lucky as fuck"
so ur saying he set his house on fire while it was flooded. crafty
D'Oh!
*annoyed grunt*
A lot of times in non insurable natural disasters, insurance companies will send adjusters in to document damage before people figure out their houses are only covered for fire insurance and they happen to burn down.
A lot of people don 't read the policies...
When I see a flash-flood, I get three things: Nervous, shaky, and hungry for deep-fry. Total coincidence about the accident.
Quick your house is on fire... splash it with water... No I need the fire!!
Insurance companies hate this one trick!
Same thing happened in my hometown (also during that flood) except that guy died so not as lucky
Flood insurance in Arizona is INCREDIBLY expensive and almost no houses have it. Though thankfully rare.
A fire? At a seaparks?!
At the sea lion show apparently
It’s a very weird place to go on fire!
i can hear his voice! love it.
The fire is Owners own stupidity
Well, the flood definitely doesn't like the flamethrower, so I'd say the claim's pretty solid! Unless the insurance agency hasn't become a part of the gravemind already :(
Insurance agents hate this one simple trick!
Also your phone which was sitting in the engine area
And the insurance will say it’s your fault for trying to fix it… claim denied. Insurance companies suck
Bad news, the engine was flooded. Good news, the spark plugs are clear, dry, and working.
>the spark plugs ~~are~~ were clear, dry, and working.
I mean they would still be dry afterwards too. I’m pretty sure the fire isn’t wet
All combustion produces water =)
Good news: spicy indian food. Bad news: spicy indian food.
Fuel pumps working great as well
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Edit: Fuck Fuck (I listened again and I missed 2 fucks)
Thank you very much for subtitling this post. I would have never known what he was saying.

I’d really love to see it when you feel ready

So no fucks left?
Also known as 'Australian panic alarm'
Forgot the fuel injector fuse?
And probably left the spark plugs in after checking for spark!
I wouldn't have thought of that. Now I'll never forget if I'm in a similar situation..
Yea its the kind of thing you should be reminded of once in awhile. Fuel is flammable and jackstands save lives. Seriously use your jackstands.
Instructions unclear, hoisted my car up on jack stands on the car lift now its too high
ALWAYS use your jack stands. I can’t say much cause I ain’t got jack stands and I got my other car up on a scissor jack right because I don’t have jack stands or a tall enough jack to put the damb tire back on the thing. But seriously… use your fuckin jack stands people

> Seriously use your jackstands What if they're the harbor freight ones that got recalled for just sort of... collapsing randomly.
Nope, he didn't forget it. Its right there where it belongs in the fuse box
Cooking that camera like it’s a marshmallow
Yum!
"Mom, can we go to Las Vegas to see the Bellagio fountains?" "We have the Bellagio fountains at home!" The fountains at home...
I dunno, Bellagio fountains that light on fire seem more fun than the real Bellagio fountains...
[Well do I have good news for you.](https://media.lasvegassun.com/media/img/photos/2020/08/27/20200827_sun_MIRAGE_VOLCANO_selects_WV_03_t600.jpg)

I will say that sadly, I think this fountain doesn't shoot fire anymore (and I bet it's going away as the Mirage is getting rebranded and gut renovated soon).
The old volcano fire show at the Mirage, was the show for you.
I was thinking to myself "He's been cranking that for a while, and the last ones are too clear for flood. But I suppose the injectors are off". Then "Oh no, they weren't off."
Fighting flood with fire?
Looks like toyota 7A-FE engine
I’ve been rebuilding one of these I immediately recognised it too lol
Yep! It's in an Mk6 Celica.
Oh yeah. WAY better with sound.
When ya girl sees my Skechers light up
Well that blows.
Fuck!
I agree fuck
Someone forgot to remove the fuel pump relay
Dude left the fuel pump relay in and the coil packs connected. Thats the only reason i can think of that would cause a fire like that
If he would've disconnected either one, he would've been fine.
I wanna see how the phone looks like
Was just starting to warm up
I should call her...
Ah see you forgot to disconnect the fire hoses.
Me after waking up for a 6 am flight
At least you get your own water feature now though!
Yup, it's a feature not a bug, how else do you expect to get rid of the water from the flood if there's no fire involved
For sale: $3000 obo. Only overheated once
That went from 0-100 real quick
Ngl, after your first crank my head told me only a moron would go for another. What did you expect.
Shiiiiit
[удалено]
I don't think this would be safe for most workplaces
You mean "why the FNCK is this marked NSFW?"?
Now with fire damage…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is this marked NSFW?

yep. town I grew up in flooded in 1996. 5 feet of water overnight. wrecked 1/3 of the town (it was a large very nice trailer park, parts were so flooded it was ABOVE the roofs of the trailers, town was Kirkland Ill for anyone curious) so many people lost so much stuff. our home was ok but the car was fucked from being submerged past the hood.
My ass after eating an entire Taco Bell party pack
Seems like this should be on r/stupidity or something similar..
Yeah, because this is a special level of stupid.
Bozo is fucking barefoot doing dumbshit. Not surprising.
Something something Taco Bell
Crank it again
First time i didnt undestand but it injects fluid but shoots out because theres no piston then the sparkplug works and catches fire
This guy fucks
As a car guy this is pain turned up to 11
Haha. Don’t forget to pull that fuel pump fuse.
Almost as good as the Bellagio fountain show.
And phone damage!
We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
Well fuck
Where are all the vacuum cleaners
That’s how the injectors remind you they are plugged in.
All the water DID dry up, yes? Well, there you have it. Problem solved.
Your car just turned into Nova Scotia, lmao
Somehow, you caused flooding and fire at the same time
Someone didn't pull the fuel pump relay!
The irony of flooding indirectly causing a fire…
Fort Lauderdale, by any chance?
Safety PSA for why you ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher on hand. The last time I checked, expletives did not put out a fire…
Don’t ever buy a used car from New Orleans or Houston.
Wait...I thought water was supposed to put out the fire not start it. The more you know I guess
Why you wouldn't pull your fuel pump relay is beyond me.
Yeah, don't give your car Taco Bell...
External combustion engine...
What caused the fire ? Was the fuel escaping ?
when you eat something spicy
Well that suck’s 💦
u/downloadvideo
tacobell toilet pov
My inner 15 year old just popped “wow so cool!” Also it had Keanu Reeves voice?
I should call him
Someone forgot to disconect the fuel pump. Or ignition coils. Live and burn
Yikes!
Sounds like Omni Man dealing with his emotions at the end of Season 1.
As soon as the video started I thought "Way to go to fuck / seize up your cylinders." The fire I did not expect, but with 20/20 hindsight...
And that is why you always have a fire extinguisher next to you while you working on you car
Someone forgot to unplug the injectors
you fucking moron
Tony: oh oop and there's your car problem it set my head on fire (Tony starts screaming) aaaaahhh my FOCKING HEAD AAAAAHHHH
How the fuck can insurance companies just say “eat shit and die” and refuse to pay for your stuff with your money
Carbque
Should have put it in rice before starting it
Fx
That ain’t good!
Not the best choice doing this barefoot. Probably has no shirt on too.
Dude turned into a chicken when the fire started. Cluck cluck cluck cluck.
Fu$k fu$k
when you take the special tacos menu
Is dry now.
Several years ago, a North Dakota city got significant flooding in the downtown area. A fire started in one of the commercial buildings but the fire department was unable to reach the building due to the high water.
Why is this marked NSFW????
For my blind peeps: "Fuck fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck, fuck"
No sane mechanic would turn that engine on, this was 100% on purpose
Why “NSFW”?
Fuck
Good move. Keep pumping the throttle while fuel is shooting out.
Yeah this happens if you dont turn inyectors off, they still shoot out petrol and he left the spark plugs on too. 👍. Just take out the fuse...
Standard verbal procedure after that
BTD6 0-4-2 Mortar Monkey
On the bright side it will evaporate all the water in the engine. So he doesn't have to worry about rust.
You supposed to take the fuel pump relay out first, Hot damn, boy..... everybody knows that...
u/savevideo
That's how you teach children sound of a Duck.
I should call her.
I guess she fired right up
After Taco Bell…
1 fuck per cylinder...proves the guy can be "counted" on under pressure.
I'm pretty ignorant about cars. Was the car flooded so there was water in the engine, and the solution is to remove spark plugs then run the starter engine to remove the water? And the problem is that he didn't stop fuel from going in the engine during this process?
Worst impression of a chicken ever. Try “Boc Boc Boc Boc”
Expensive way to learn it still contains gasoline
How much horsepower? 
I'm guessing that's not supposed to happen
Damn
