Bush65 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I can imagine the consequences might include: Barbecued meat/cook/garden/house/neighbourhood? + being prosecuted for "conspiracy to cause an explosion" Apologies for thread hijack here is a link to George Goble web site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well, I can say I have been there and done that. Long, long ago when Paul Wightman was fitting tyres to his first Panda 4x4 (145R13 IIRC ) and the bead on one tyre would not seat and hold air. We did not know about the ratchet strap trick but had both seen Motorworld with the icelandic tyre fitters. We did not have lighter fluid to hand but Paul had some EasyStart in the workshop so we tried that. I am sorry to say that it worked as expected first time and seated the tyre beautifuly without killing us or doing anything dramatic. IIRC those tyres are still working fine on his present Panda so I guess the EastStart does not do much damage to rubber. I would NOT recomend this to anyone else however, it is potentialy dangerous and could cause serious injury or worse. Remember, this is essentially an explosion in a confined space and you know what that means. On the subject of liquid Oxygen and BBQs, I am sure that I once saw this demonstrated on TV - school science class, Royal Institution Christmas lectures etc. - with just a single BBQ briquet, soaked in liquid Oxygen and lit remotely. The resulting bang was described as having the same explosive force as a stick of dynamite. Frightening. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
