    I hope you took that picture on your phone and didn't go all the way back to your van to get a proper camera?

    Nah,
    I haven't got a camera on my phone but my van is just out of picture (how else could I listen to the rock classics my daughter gave me?)

    No gas in there M8, oil yes but somebody had reclaimed the system well below 0.
    What upset the customer the most was that I didn't run and get a fire extinguisher...But instead calmly looked through the back of my van to find where I put the welder's gloves.

    After the customer started complaining, asking me to RUN to the other end of the building, fetching a (powder) fire extinguisher... I did decide to take a photo or 2. So I then had to get the camera out, find the best angle, ask the office girls that were passing by if I could light their fires as well. I eventually put my hand around it (OK, so I were cheating, by that time I had put the welding glove on)

    Blowing it would have helped! ... or were you hiding something in your breath too? ... a Dragon maybe? Next time fight it with a cutter!

    What is a cutter?

    Also, I don't think I would recommend blowing on any fire. You should always keeps a bucket of water and a wet rag next to you when doing hot work.

    There is no way I would be putting my face near any naked flame, you never know what could happen next.
