[Healeys] Leaks

[Peter Svilans]

 < Fortunately it was only the boom from the vapors that were present. No
other fire >

I was dismantling a motorbike on the patio, using a torch for the frozen
bolts.  The tank, which had been drained three days before, lay with the
filler neck near the floor.  A red hot nut dropped and rolled to within a few
inches of the open neck and SHHUMP !  The tank spun several yards away like a
deflated baloon.  No flames.  It was a very distinctive sound- exactly like a
shovelful of gravel into a tin bucket.
