I remember a place I worked just out of high school, had one of those home made engine vats.
It used a powder, just scoop it in until it worked good.
It had a big gas burner under it, turn it on, throw a burning wad of paper under there and stand back!
One time the bosses son had loaded it the night before, let it boil all night. I went to unload it the next morning, hooked the chain to the cherry picker and started jacking the engine block out.

As soon as I moved the engine block, the pan that was upside down, and now full of steam, flipped over and a giant bubble of scalding hot caustic came up and out, drenched my pants from the waist down!
It was cold winter, busy highway going by, didn't matter, the pants came off and the cold water hose was on!
The hose was right there, didn't take me but a few seconds to start rinsing it off. I was surprised how little damage it did, just some red blistering, but in some very sensitive areas!

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
