curse my short term memory
« on: April 19, 2007, 10:33:02 pm »
I overfilled my tank today. :-[  I was sitting in the garden with a glass of wine, listening to the waves, when I noticed water running nearby. My peace was shattered when I realised that it was the van tank overflowing. It was hooked up to my ibc and i forgot. water was running out of the van all over the place. lucky for me the van is full of holes, I was a bit worried that I might get wet shoes when I opened the door.

have any of you done this? (yet)

Yes!

Worst case was my Honda Estate last summer which was facing downhill on the drive and the front passenger footwell was about two inches deep in water, the relay underneath got soaked, killing the engine electrics. Two days later it dried out enough to start up again.  ::)

Not flooded the van out yet, but the amount of times I've had a miss hap with the 100 gal fish tank in the living room and flooded downstairs.  Doh.

I've not actually done that but I have driven off (a few times) with the tank lid still open and slopped water around.  As I have a full bulkhead, I wasn't aware of it until I stopped later.

I haven't done that yet?
But I have left my transfer pump pluged in when I emptied my storage tank, went off to work and while the tank was filling, the float switch got higher and higher until it switched its self back on :o the whole shed was flooded,

I keep saying to my self I must do something about that, but my short term memory won't remind me ;D
