Gas in the washer... cars in the yard.
I didn't think rednecks lived in Minnesota.

I remember a long time ago
I read an article of a woman who had cleaned her toilet with gasoline. Then later she decided to use it, and---you guessed it, decided to have a smoke.
KaBoom!
I don't remember if she died or not. I always was challenged on what was more creepy, cleaning with gasoline, or being so addicted to smoking that you needed to do it while on the toilet.
Yech.
On another note, I remember as a little kid various warnings to never ever use gas to clean anything. Sure it will act like a solvent and break things down, but there are much safer ways to do it.
It's not the fuel itself, it's the fumes that are so dangerous, that can travel along floors as the article states, and find an ignition source.

Maybe he should have used one of those Maytag wringers with the GAS motor.

what are these people thinking
Oh My God! what are these people thinking cleaning toilets with gasoline, and putting it in your washer, sounds like a bunch of suicidal maniacs to me. I mean come on it says in the manual and on the lid of the washer and the door of my dryer DO NOT under any circumstances put Flammable products in washer or dryer. How much more info do these people need. I have always said "Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed or breathe."

"Johnson works on the transmissions of cars throughout his yard, which neighbors consider to be eyesores and would like removed."
And now there's a washer in the yard...

I suppose they will need to put labels on toilets telling users not to put gasoline in them!Shudder to think if the vapors got into the rest of the homes or buildings plumbing when the gas got ignited?Sounds like a GOOD way to demolish your home!
is that for real?
After that horrible explosion a few years back in Mexico, I thought even the dimmest...
Well, there I go again, thinking.
The only time we ever even used naptha was out in the middle of the garden..well away from drains and anything which might ignite it.
What stupidity!
I bet he mixes ammonia and chlorine bleach, too. It cleans *so* much better that way.

Jason, rednecks are everywhere, they're not relegated to only the south. Yankees have 'em too.

Ever see those paragraphs in consumer appliance manuals where it states the obvious:
Like do not use this electrical appliance while bathing
Do not use this electrical appliace while using an escalator?
The reason these warnings are there is because at one time or another someone has done that!
People always think "that happens to other people, it will never happen to me".

He's just TOO STUPID to live.
The above is funny but I didn't think it should be the case. I have, since reading the prior panels in this thread, changed my mind. *LOL*
(Sorry boys and girls and girly-boys if my repetoire is getting *yawn* predictable).

This is what happens when you ban phosphates
The article said that he'd learned the trick of dissolving grease on work clothes by adding a little gasoline to the wash water from his dad.
Now, I've found that STPP works just fine as a degreaser and it gets rid of greasy stains just fine.
He does admit he may have added too much gas this time... but if phosphates were legal in Minnesota, he wouldn't have had to add any in the first place.
Or he could have added kerosene, which is slighly safer, but not much!
(only half kidding)

Father knows best? HA!
My pappy said, *find a nice girl and settle down*.
Just goes to show ya, sometime you have to think for yourself. That could have been dowright explosive, expensive and dangerous too.
