That was the biggest fireball I've ever been personally responsible for! LOL
The oil light stayed on on the Oliver 1600 gas yesterday. I waved the cutting torch around under the oil pan for a minute and started it back up,the light went off.

That was one wild ball of fire! Then the nerves kicked in and I started shaking. Didn't think that would ever end,but I was still laughing over the whole thing. No damage and I got it cleaned out and changed the oil anyway.
