OT but is electrical. I got a IH TD15 Dozer probably one of the last that starts on gas then to diesel. So the last time I forgot
to put a bucket over the muffler and some rain got in there. Then we got some water in the gas (holds about 1 gal.) ok still no start.
my kid pulled the plugs and I sand blasted them. He put a new 12vt coil. Then I went back to the shop. Next thing I know my kid
comes running all burnt up for a extinguisher. Well he's alright just singed up a little, dozer was yellow now its black. Kid said no 2
cyl exploded when he started threading the spark plug in thus catching the gas tank fire.
The impossible question HOW? Engine is coil points system not "magneto"- Ign Off, Kill switch off, gas shut off valve off.
weather around 60* grass kind of due'ey (wet) , the kid dont smoke.
so dont the weather rule out static charge from his fingers. He allready put one plug in, it was cyl 2 that blew right at him. He is sitting
on a steel track, so his butts grounded.
One for the books tottally impossible. Just can - not happen. And my kids a DFD fireman, been to fire academy knows about high tension
line fires and such.
any thoughts gentlemen.......
