Gave me a good laugh today. You are too kind sir......... Years ago I had one trusted person who was strong enough and knew how to use a 15 pound CO2 bottle (weighs about 45 pounds) in event of a dyno fire. I was screaming a Fiat engine in my shop and the fire bottle man was behind me. There was an "event" (caused all to often, by Fiat using floor sweepings for connecting rods) and the entire engine oil supply suddenly covered the bright orange headers, followed by that all too familiar rapid expansion sound, "kind of slow boom with a toneless underlying whoosh" I stepped to my left to give room for my highly trained fire person to operate, and fell backwards over the recently abandon fire bottle. I found myself alone in the shop with a comprehensive oil fire roaring away. My fire man was well down my long drive-way observing my fire fighting technique. I had lined the dyno area with sheet aluminum over ceramic wool insulation, in an otherwise wood frame garage. So no damage, but an instructional event in the end. At least on the delegation of responsibilities. Then I built a block room for the dyno. I grow.....I learn. All electrical power for ignition was through a foot pedal, so the smallest degree of panic shut it all down. Sometimes your knee caps know better than you do. If your feet turn away from a major activity, follow them out side for a rethink. The new installation had diamond plate shielding on both sides of each engine, and stainless stand off shielding for the headers with their own cooling blower. I found a complete rod bolt and nut stuck in the concrete wall behind the TIG welder when we moved out. It could have been way worse than it turned out. Lynn E.
