I am a small engine mechanic. One of my friends called and said that one of his new non-english speaking employees had filled an engine completely up with gasoline, instead of putting the gas in the gas tank. He put the gas in the oil dipstick tube. I advised him to drain all of the oil/gas mix, and refill with the required 2 quarts of oil. I then told him that more than likely the cylinders had gasoline in them too. It was a verticle shaft engine so the gas could get by the rings and into each cylinder (it was a Kawasaki twin). I told him to pull the spark plugs out and then make sure that the spark plug wires were as far away from the engine as possible. He asked me why and I explained that when he turned the engine over the gasoline in the cylinders would come out of the spark plug holes and that was a chance the gas could explode if a spark was present. He wrapped both plug wires in electrical tape, put cardboard around them and then put more electrical tape around the cardboard. He turned the engine over and a cloud of gas came out of one cylinder and suddenly exploded. He told me it was about a 3 foot ball of fire. No one was injured and he was able to put the fire out instantly since he had a fire extinguisher ready to go. The employee was fired on the spot. There was no damage to the lawn mower.

Plastic and hot oil is a really bad combination. We have to swap a lot of transmissions becuase ZF decided it would be a good idea to make bearing cages out of plastic. It´s around 30.000€ per transmission and we do 1 or 2 every week.
so guys, i work for almost 20 years as a mechanic in germany. i've seen some wild stuff but like 90% i watch from here or other channels are like unimaginable. i cant even... how do you not insult the customer so ignorant and stupid? i can understand some stuff. but this is just neglect of any safety for the driver and other people on the road. is it really that common in the us? im genuine curious
Some states have no inspections, plus some use a lot of salt on the roads in winter, so cars only last about 10 years. This stuff is probably more common in poorer states, but don't forget we are only seeing the "highlights", do don't extrapolate across every car in the US.
Yes its very common. Ive seen a lot of cars. A lot of ppl dont know how to maintain them. There are plenty who cant even fill their vehicles oil or coolant properly. Let alone change a tire. Generally overeducated college degree ppl who pay ppl to do everything but dont do it themselves.
There’s a big difference between aluminum rims depending if they are forged or cast aluminum. Some cheap cars like Hyundai will actually be sold with stock cast aluminum and they crack frequently. Quality forged mags will bend and not crack.
@14:20 "really got their money's worth on this tire" You want to talk about getting your money's worth out of a tire? My dad bought a 1994 S10 in 1998, with ~40k miles on it. Ten years later, at 150k miles, it was still rolling on the exact same tires that were on it when he bought it. They weren't even low on tread. They were just full of dry rot cracks in the tread, and had started leaking.
That's what happens. Tires get hard and they stop wearing so they'll 'last' a real long time. They also stop gripping, and eventually stop holding air; but long before they go flat they are very unsafe to drive on because of the lack of grip. They'll keep their tread forever.
I used to complain about getting state inspections for my cars because I take good care of them and didn't see the need. But after seeing how other people take care of their vehicles that I share the road with I no longer complain.
I've had 10:29 happen to me before. I had just bought the truck (an '02 5-speed Blazer) and the next week the dry rotted tire slung the whole ahh tread. Had a fun time replacing all the parts it'd effed up 😂. Mechanics are an underappreciated and underused resource, love y'all greasy mfrs!
@10:22 - let me guess, even though the tires are 22 yrs old, the econoline came in for an AC issue. As crazy as it is props to getting 22 years use and hot (presumably) dying. Funny for me as I recently helped my son pick out new tires, and explained the dot code. Then he asked why that would matter.... gotta love 'em.
Some people should never be let near a vehicle let alone own a vehicle let alone be told yes you can drive it and hopefully trust them to not destroy it so many simple fixes and yet they still wonder
My mechanic, worked on everything. Stopped by, he's just getting ready to tear down a little four cylinder, air cooled motor for a ...lineman truck pole driller. He pulled the head and said the they left a single edge razor in here. Sure enough, just the handle remains, sitting om top of the piston. For the life of that rebuild.
13:34…… that’s a Kia with a Theta II engine….. mine did exactly the same thing. Got a brand new engine for free because they botched the first one so bad they got sued…..
This what you get when you don't have mandatory annual car inspection. Most of these cars were deadly weapons on the street just before filming in this video. You will never see this in Europe... way to Go Murica!🤦♂

Yeah but they never say and this grinds my gears
It looks to dark to be pepto
I guessed kid goop or play dough.
Could of put automatic trans fluid and it had some type of reaction with the old gear oil and turned to goop.
Looks like high temp grease mixed with gear oil. I saw that a lot in brush cutters gearboxes on farm equipment

That oil filter saved the engine a lot of damage by keeping that melted plastic from circulating.

Gotta luv the blue oil 😂😂
It has special lubricating properties (aka, none). But the oil pan and engine will be nice and clean!
This is great, compilations are the way to go.
1:05 great way to drain oil without a lift, i like it.

Well you can definitely say that transfer case oil one. Wasn't the customers fault for once. Garage is paying for that one.
Yup that's one expensive bill for the garage and super unlucky for the customer.
