It might be an ill man in a hospital with an emergency bell. He just could it ring once until the rope of the bell cracked. And because nobody could recognize his emergency and he died. My guess ^^
The title says "Blue Gasoline Tried To Kill Me" but in reality the blue die in the 100LL actually did its job and clearly showed you had a leaking fuel problem and likely SAVED your life. So you have solved the fuel pump problems (2) but you still have a leaking tip tank, correct ? "LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK"
I’m a retired professional pilot and have ratings and flown Captain in every Boeing since the 727, so when Jimmy said “every time you look at the airplane you throw $2500 at it,” I nodded my head in agreement. After owning two airplanes over 40 years I can fully concur, this is a hobby of spending money and occasionally one gets to actually fly an airplane. 😊
A family friend bought a new plane in the 70's from the manufacturer and suffered a dual fuel pump failure on the plane straight from the factory flying it home and crashed into a drainage ditch next to the road, and plane flipped over, his 2 passengers pulled him out but the plane caught on fire. The manufacturer gave him a new plane but still was the scariest flight he ever had.
As for your riddle; I seem to remember in the old days when they used to bury people they were afraid of them being buried alive, so they buried them, and installed a bell with a string or rope, tied to it going to the casket. That was just in case. The person who died was actually not dead, but alive. They then would ring the bell, and hopefully, the watchmen in the graveyard would hear it and dig them out before they died. Best I could come up with.
@@jerryv9138 Very true. I have a 42' sport fisherman and the bills to prove it. However, it will part company with me when I meet Jesus and not before. Boats are different in one major way than aircraft. An aircraft just takes you from A to B and then at B you are on your own. A boat also takes you from A to B but then at B you are already home. You crank op the generator, flip on the AC units, start the water maker and the ice maker and then pull up a fishing rod or don the SCUBA/snorkel gear. You occasionally hear the sound of the blender and the microwave in the background. Also, when something happens to my engines I don't fall out of the sky. That's a pretty major difference as well.
I hear ya on having modified tools that I have made that are only needed for one part. They can be invaluable. Sympathy's to Phil, but glad he is back with 99 percent of his tools back. Glad you where able to notice a leak and It not have something bad happen to you in the air.
I am so happy you found the problem avoiding the possibility of turning into a CRISPY CRITTER! SPEND THE MONEY...GET TWO NEW PUMPS !! Fly safe my friend, fly safe.
I literally have been waiting since 1993 to hear the explanation of this riddle! I cannot tell you how relieved I have been since you revealed this on your show! Thank you! By the way, I paid $10 for a sticker about six months ago, still waiting .
Jimmy as you so beautifully have stated so many times " WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG ?? " . Please change the pumps and gaskets I ! ! I enjoy watching your channel and don't want to lose you now !...!...!
I was born and raised at 310 Wallace Lane! I always wanted one! Never to be so I watch you instead! I told you about my year in Viet Nam and recently found some slides of the big AC graveyard at Tan Son Nhut AB! Sadly there are several Blue Canoes that were destroyed in the Tet Offensive of 1968 by sappers!
Ok, on a serious side, while my plane has an electric pump (the same one for a car is 80 bucks, for the plane, 600) and yours is engine driven, like my 65 Buick, I had the same mystery drip. It was the pump seal at the shaft. It seems when the fuel system was drained for another issue, that seal got to relax and wouldn't do it's job after pressure was put back on it. I could have easily changed it in 10 minutes but, noooooooo.... gotta do it all legal like and the guy charged me 550 bucks! I can hardly wait for my first annual and gear swing 😍. WHAT COULD GO WRONG???? Keep em coming Jimmy. Always entertaining and even educational!
@@therealjimmysworld D and G Supply overhauled it. It looks amazing. I hope to get it back on the plane today. If I had been thinking, I would have completed my annual during the week it took to get the pump overhauled and returned.
Going back to the old days when the "dead ringer" slogan was born: they learned that not every person who was thought to be dead, was actually dead. The person was buried and came back to life. This was discovered upon exhuming some caskets and finding severe scratch marks on the inside of the lid caused by the person thought to be "dead", but who really wasn't. So, they began to bury people with a small pipe leading from the casket to above the ground. Inside the pipe was a rope attached to the supposedly deceased person's wrist or hand. The other end of the rope went up above the ground and was attached to a bell that was hanging from a hook. If the person should "wake up" they would panic of course and the movement of the arm would yank the rope and ring the bell, and the person assigned to keep watch at the cemetery would hear it and summon a team to immediately dig out and remove the casket and free the now very-much-alive person! This is where, as I said earlier, the slogan "dead ringer" came from. Apparently the person on watch would yell something like "we have a dead ringer" as he got the men together to begin digging. Did I just age myself here?
As for the riddle my only guess is they used to tie a string around your finger when you died that was attached to a bell. Iirc people would be very ill and sometimes be buried alive. So by pulling the string the person would pull the string to ring the bell and hopefully someone would hear it and be able to dig you up in time. My thought was someone was buried alive. In a panic the bell rang, until the rope broke making the bell stop and he died due to lack of oxygen.
Jimmy, you're an awesome guy! Always have time for the family, planes, and great entertainment. Always enjoy watching your stuff on a Friday night after a long day of wrenching on trucks! Hopefully those parts don't cost dearly as much!
Rebuild it as a U3 Canoe! There is an example at the Castle AFB museum...The riddle may be related to those who fly around the country buying random airframes to lose money on...the ring may be clue phone related too!
A safety coffin or security coffin is a coffin fitted with a mechanism (Rope connected to a bell) to prevent premature burial or allow the occupant to signal that they have been buried alive. A large number of designs for safety coffins were patented during the 18th and 19th centuries and variations on the idea are still available today.
I suppose an alternative - the man was hauling the bell up a tower using a pully a the top. The rope broke, which caused the bell to ring, the bell fell 40' hitting the man and killing him.
The dye in the 100LL saved your life. Fuel leaks in any aircraft are potential killers, spend the money on new/rebuilt pumps. Hopefully you can narrow down the area on the tip tank that leaks. I enjoy your videos.
The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the bouy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the bouy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff.
I was thinking this was back when they used to put a bells by graves, in case they bury a live/comatose person. The rope breaks the bell only rings once, but people don't hear it continue, so he dies in his grave.... didn't think it would be a buoy as they use chains.... (I mean ropes will rot in water)
I remember hearing this one way back in the ‘70s. IIRC, the guy went to ring the church bell, and a rope securing the bell gave way, the bell fell, landed on him.
The rope broke, the bell rang, and the man died. Answer: The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the buoy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the buoy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff.
For one example: I had to heat and bend a 3/8 boxed end to get to the nuts on the flap track rollers on a Cessna single. Fits all Cessna singles. So yes, I am well aware of custom made tools.
So glad you found the problem before take off. Anything to do with aircraft parts is way more expensive than it should be. Be safe and what could possibly go wrong?
a man was buried alive back in the day when there were bells rigged with a string rope to his finger or hand ( they drank out lead pewter cups which caused death like comas) if you awoke you would pull the string if you moved) Pull to hard the bell rings once and nobody comes to get you out of the ground
Isn't that the tip tank you ran out of fuel on your flight to fix the RV? It may have been on it's last legs and when it ran dry the stress of running empty caused your problems with the pump leak. 🤔
I just had my electric fuel pump start to leak and CJ Aviation now has it, they quoted a 5 day turn.....they are in Miami. I also live in Florida and thus it was quick to ship it there. I tried QAA and they said they were going to see if they could do it....they didn't call me back. Bill N80UF Velocity XL
The man is a bell ringer. He’s in the bell tower. He is hanging on the rope as it lifts him from the ground as the bell swings. The rope broke, the bell swings fully, and it rings. He falls and dies.
That joke has more than one answer: The man was ringing the bell in a church tower. He pulled on the rope and as he dangled, the rope broke, the bell rang and he fell down the church tower.
Giving thanks the Lord has kept you and your family safe, Jimmy!!! I enjoy the channel, the commerodity of your friends, and all the airplane fun. The 310 is the best! (imo) :)
I’m guessing it has something to do with where we got the term Dead ringer. They used to bury people with a string tied to their wrist. This rope was attached to a bell near the grave stone. If you were buried asleep instead of dead, you could ring the bell. A person would stay at the grave sight all night to listen for ringing bells.
hey jimmy, that switch looks just like the ones I replace regularly in my job. I am an Electronics Technician working in food packaging, processing and prep. Anyhow the switch looks dirty, polluted. Generally loose mounts are a common problem for those so locktite blue and inside star lock washers helps to end those problems. During install they need to be clean and degreased. another thing is they are not sealed against fluids. water is the worst thing getting in, oil is the next worse. They come in a larger size, some of those can be had with seals. The big unsealed ones are easily defeated by coffee dust in packagung plants. I imagine the little unsealed ones, like you showed would also fail from dust. anyway, I enjoy yoir aviation videos, cheers! Me? yeah, that lake la4 is mine....
There is another answer to the riddle.....it goes back many many years to when ppl were buried, a string or rope would be attached to their toes or fingers and to a bell placed topside. This was so that if the ppl were buried alive, then they could ring the bell and be dug up and let free, but someone was employed to sit in the graveyard at night to listen for the bell/s (hence the shiftworkers late night shift being called "the graveyard shift). So, if the rope/string broke for any reason, the person died
Live in a small harbor town in northern Michigan and there's this bar (Bar Harbor) that makes the best fried pickles! Funny thing... They don't fry pickles, but apparently only for me they did.
It would have helped if I knew the man was blind (yeah right).😂 Glad you found that the leak wasn't a bladder, but it still sucks that it's so expensive.
When I was a kid. My dad and I , we didn't buy anything new unless we had to, we rebuilt starters, alternators, carburators, transmissions, everything, I was 15, before I knew you could buy a whole new starter or alternator, 😆 haha, not really, but we never bought one, unless we could not get parts to rebuild then, even looked into fuel pumps and about anything you might think of!! And we did everything out self!!
my riddle answer, A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff.
"A rope breaks, a bell rings and a man dies" a blind man walks to the cliffs everyday using the bell on a floating buoy to judge his distance from the edge. One day the rope holding the buoy in place snaps, the buoy drifts, the man hears the bell farther off in the distance and walks off the edge to his death. Well I didn't know you were going to give the answer at the end. This is an old time riddle heard it years ago
not sure if you ever got that old riddle, but the answer, or one of them, is: The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the buoy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the buoy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff.
ok, now I've seen the whole video and see that the answer I got was right. However, I also like the one where the friar went out to the bell tower, pulled on the rope to ring the bell and the bell rang, the rope broke at the same time ,and the bell fell and crushed the friar.
Hey Jimmy, love your videos, I watch all of them. Here’s something you may be interested in, a battery powered transfer pump. Uses two d cell batteries and pumps about 2.5 gallons per minute. Cost about $15 .
Work was being done to a bell tower. A beam was being hoisted into place at the top, when the rope broke. The beam struck a bell on the way down, before landing end-first on a mans head.
My first guess was bad fuel had damaged a seal or gasket somewhere in the fuel system, making me worried when you put that fuel right into another aircraft without doing a check on contamination first. Was right about at least the second part of it being a bad seal or gasket :)
Man was looking up at a bell hanging from a rope. The rope broke and the bell fell, hitting the man on the head and ringing loudly in the process. It was a very heavy bell. The man did not survive.
The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the bouy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the bouy to tell how close he is the the cliff near wh.ere he takes his evening walks
answer riddle: A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff.
The rope attached an anchor to a buoy. A blind man walking near the edge of a cliff used the bell from the buoy to gauge how close he was to the edge. When the rope breaks the buoy drifts out to sea and the man walked over the edge of the cliff and dies.
The riddle: Two wrestlers stepped into the ring. The bell rang and one wrestler was thrown against the ropes, but it broke under the stress and he fell outside the ring and landed on his head, breaking his neck. 💥 Il est mort!! 💀
I gave the riddle to my wife. She gave me a definitive answer and one that I dare not argue with. She says " Oh for Pete's sake, you have too much time on your hands ".
Your riddle : A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff. there are different variants
People were buried with a rope in there hand that would ring a bell top side to let folks know that the person wasn't really dead and they need to be un-burried. So so a man died when he was in a coffin because the rope to the bell broke after he rang the bell...once.
An alternate riddle answer; the rope was holding a very heavy bell and the man was standing under the bell. Sorta a tragedy, the rope broke the bell fell and made a sound as it crushed the man.
Diaphragms DO have a life expectancy, but no one ever seems to remember that ALL rubber and elastomer parts have expiration dates. I expect that after one engine fire, one might be more likely to remember that.
A priest was going to ring before mass,. The rope broke, The bell rang when it hit the priest and the floor and he obviously died. That's all I got LOL
The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the bouy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the bouy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff

Years ago they used to bury people with a line to a bell above ground in case they were buried alive
Alternative answer. Preacher rings church bell. The rope breaks and the bell falls from bell tower and kills him. More obvious than a bouey.
A safety coffin or security coffin is a coffin fitted with a mechanism (Rope connected to a bell) to prevent premature burial or allow the occupant to signal that they have been buried alive. A large number of designs for safety coffins were patented during the 18th and 19th centuries and variations on the idea are still available today.
I’m sure today’s model’s are BlueTooth capable.
From what I'd heard, the terms "graveyard shift", "dead-ringer" and "saved by the bell" were related to these security coffins...
I suppose an alternative - the man was hauling the bell up a tower using a pully a the top. The rope broke, which caused the bell to ring, the bell fell 40' hitting the man and killing him.

How hard should it be to rebuild the pump yourself? Probably a half dozen parts and a snap ring plier. But my guess the kit is $1500.

OR,,, the leak stopped because the pressure of the fuel above the leak was drastically reduced?
There is another answer to the riddle.....it goes back many many years to when ppl were buried, a string or rope would be attached to their toes or fingers and to a bell placed topside. This was so that if the ppl were buried alive, then they could ring the bell and be dug up and let free, but someone was employed to sit in the graveyard at night to listen for the bell/s (hence the shiftworkers late night shift being called "the graveyard shift).

Jimmy hows the Harvard and the mig going? keep bringing us joy and laughter and on a serious note nice flying moustache
Live in a small harbor town in northern Michigan and there's this bar (Bar Harbor) that makes the best fried pickles!
Funny thing...
They don't fry pickles, but apparently only for me they did.
Love that bar, love Harbor Springs.
Timely... thanks for that. Similar-looking problems with the left main on our 310R. Sigh.
It would have helped if I knew the man was blind (yeah right).😂 Glad you found that the leak wasn't a bladder, but it still sucks that it's so expensive.
You should definitely spend the money to get both wings fixed with new pumps you're very entertaining and it would be a shame to lose you
Safety has no price! Spend the money.
Always replace pairs (both pumps) see if there is a rebuild kit available..
Good catch on the fuel pumps. I'd have changed them vith anyway even if only one was leaking at the moment.
When I was a kid. My dad and I , we didn't buy anything new unless we had to, we rebuilt starters, alternators, carburators, transmissions, everything, I was 15, before I knew you could buy a whole new starter or alternator, 😆 haha, not really, but we never bought one, unless we could not get parts to rebuild then, even looked into fuel pumps and about anything you might think of!! And we did everything out self!!
The Rope broke, the bell rung, the man dies.?! Things you can't UNDO!
my riddle answer, A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff.
Snap crackle pop
New pumps are a must!
The man was ringing the bell in a bell tower. the rope broke, he fell to his death, but the bill had enough momentum to still ring.
"A rope breaks, a bell rings and a man dies" a blind man walks to the cliffs everyday using the bell on a floating buoy to judge his distance from the edge. One day the rope holding the buoy in place snaps, the buoy drifts, the man hears the bell farther off in the distance and walks off the edge to his death.
Well I didn't know you were going to give the answer at the end. This is an old time riddle heard it years ago
not sure if you ever got that old riddle, but the answer, or one of them, is: The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the buoy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the buoy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff.
ok, now I've seen the whole video and see that the answer I got was right. However, I also like the one where the friar went out to the bell tower, pulled on the rope to ring the bell and the bell rang, the rope broke at the same time ,and the bell fell and crushed the friar.
Excellent stuff bro
Hey Jimmy, love your videos, I watch all of them. Here’s something you may be interested in, a battery powered transfer pump. Uses two d cell batteries and pumps about 2.5 gallons per minute. Cost about $15 .
Work was being done to a bell tower. A beam was being hoisted into place at the top, when the rope broke. The beam struck a bell on the way down, before landing end-first on a mans head.
My first guess was bad fuel had damaged a seal or gasket somewhere in the fuel system, making me worried when you put that fuel right into another aircraft without doing a check on contamination first.
Was right about at least the second part of it being a bad seal or gasket :)
I'll second that! Bad practice to fuel that was previously in another airplane without a proper storage and filtration system.
Jimmy thanks.....!! I am learning. Keep going, I enjoy your videos man! That riddle????
Safety 1ST! Remember that rule in auto shop? "IF you do the top end, you HAVE to do the bottom end as well."
Man was looking up at a bell hanging from a rope. The rope broke and the bell fell, hitting the man on the head and ringing loudly in the process. It was a very heavy bell. The man did not survive.
A man pulled on the rope in the bell tower to ring it. It rang, the rope broke and the bell fell on him killing him.
The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the bouy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the bouy to tell how close he is the the cliff near wh.ere he takes his evening walks
A LOT of MISSING information to solve that riddle.......smh, LOL.
No problem! Weld the leaky bladder! What could go wrong? LOL
the man tried to ring a church bell, then the rope broke dropping the bell on his head
Thats hilarious
answer riddle: A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff.
I was thinking the answer to the riddle was "Quasimodo" of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
The hot potato .....starts first time every other time lol , we will ignore the wrong lever bit lol .
We in P.O.L. call the process of removing fuel from the aircraft … a defuel . 😂😂
The rope attached an anchor to a buoy. A blind man walking near the edge of a cliff used the bell from the buoy to gauge how close he was to the edge. When the rope breaks the buoy drifts out to sea and the man walked over the edge of the cliff and dies.
The riddle: Two wrestlers stepped into the ring. The bell rang and one wrestler was thrown against the ropes, but it broke under the stress and he fell outside the ring and landed on his head, breaking his neck. 💥 Il est mort!! 💀
I gave the riddle to my wife. She gave me a definitive answer and one that I dare not argue with. She says " Oh for Pete's sake, you have too much time on your hands ".
Your riddle :
A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff, and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore, and the man walks over the edge of the cliff.
there are different variants
People were buried with a rope in there hand that would ring a bell top side to let folks know that the person wasn't really dead and they need to be un-burried.
So so a man died when he was in a coffin because the rope to the bell broke after he rang the bell...once.
The last minute/ and / LOL....LOL.... call it blind man bluff eh - lol.. Thanks for the video all.. Ian - UK.
The church bell ringer's rope broke, he was below it as they are and the bell rang as it hit the ground killing the bell ringer. lol 🙂
An alternate riddle answer; the rope was holding a very heavy bell and the man was standing under the bell. Sorta a tragedy, the rope broke the bell fell and made a sound as it crushed the man.
The man falls off a belltower, pulling the bell cord as he is falling, dies when he hits the ground.
Diaphragms DO have a life expectancy, but no one ever seems to remember that ALL rubber and elastomer parts have expiration dates.
I expect that after one engine fire, one might be more likely to remember that.
Cool video as always , i thank you on cheering me up after a long 24hr shift at work .
Good puzzle, she should do more of those every now and then.
I believe leaking dinosaur squeezings is a bad thing! Be careful Jimmy and happy thanksgiving!
The bell next to the grave thing is not a urban myth. That is where the term dead ringer came from.
A priest was going to ring before mass,. The rope broke, The bell rang when it hit the priest and the floor and he obviously died. That's all I got LOL
Jimmy, you’re killing me here. I wanted to see you take that tank apart and find the problem.
The bell is attached to a buoy at the beach, the rope breaks and the bouy floats out to sea, the man is blind and uses the bouy to tell where the ocean is, he is atop the cliffs and the bell rings so he thinks it is farther out at sea and he walks right off the edge of the cliff
