Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The Five Best Ways To Steal Gas…And One Really Bad Way

admit it. The last time you put £90 of gas into your Camry, the idea crossed your mind for at least a split second. Like any other commodity, it's easier to steal gas than it is to pay for it. So if you're looking for a way — totally for informational purposes, of course — here's five of the best — and one really bad way — to do it:

5. Siphoning Fuel From Someone Else's Tank





Pros: Being able to pick the location, secluded is best. The ability to directly target your enemies. Relatively simple and cheap.

Cons: No way to check how much fuel is in the tank before you decide to steal it. Applying suction by mouth may result in severe vomiting, recurring nightmares, cancer, addiction.

Instructions: Insert a small, stiff pipe into a vehicle's gas tank. Apply suction. When fuel starts to flow, place pipe exit below tank height and fill jerry can.


4. The Old Switcheroo





Pros: No special tools or knowledge needed (except a midget or small child).

Cons: Requires a relatively advanced level of grifting, limited time means you probably won't get away with a full tank. Risk of confrontation is high.

Instructions: Simply create a distraction while your assistant swaps someone's paid-for pump into your own tank.


3. RFID Hacking



Pros: Non-confrontational. Little physical effort required. Perfect for nerds.

Cons: Requires a high-level tech know-how. It's a felony offense. High up-front equipment cost.

Instructions: Many gas stations offer SpeedPass-style pay-by-RFID. Unlike RFID cloning a credit card, the encryption ciphers in these cards are vulnerable to a brute force attack. Crack the code and give yourself free gas for life.


2. Siphoning On An Industrial Scale





Pros: The economies of scale. Relatively stealthy. High profit margins.

Cons: Requires the possession and subsequent modification of a large trailer. Penalties are commiserate with the scale of the theft.

Instructions: Pull a trailer fitted with a trap door, a large tank and a pump over a gas station's underground reservoir. While you pretend to make repairs under the hood, have an assistant open the trailer's trap door, insert a pipe down into the reservoir and then pump out the gas.


1. Pump Hacking





Pros: The ability to fill up multiple vehicles. Very stealthy. Once learned, this is a skill with near universal applicability.

Cons: Requires specialist knowledge and tools.

Instructions: Details are murky, but it appears that fuel pump service tools are making their way into thieves' hands. Get your hands on such a device, the technical know how to use it, exploit the system.


-1. Drilling Gas Tanks





Pros: Any idiot with a drill can do it.

Cons: Spark, fire, death, destruction. Permanently damages another person's vehicle, and that's just wrong.

Instructions: Climb under car with drill, make hole, slide container under cascade of highly flammable liquid. Best to avoid open flames, static electricity, cell phones, electric drills.

*Note: Gasoline is most flammable as a vapor. By drilling a tank, you're removing a liquid while leaving behind vapor. Vapor will also permeate the area around the vehicle. Even if you manage to avoid setting yourself on fire, there's always a chance the car may blow up when the owner tries to start it. Killing people is bad.

Great idea m, not much oil in this neck of the woods. lol

Petrol station joke

A man is filling up his motor at the petrol station when he loses concentration and puts £20.03 in the tank. "B*llocks!" he shouts. The guy behind the counter sees what's happening. As the man goes to pay the cashier says to him, "I see you went a little over, don't worry about the extra." The guy hands over £10 and says, "Nice one, cheers mate!"

ohhhhhhhhhh - Fill the car with diesel joke

What's the difference between petrol and diesel?

Nothing whatsoever, if you're a woman.

Quit smoking joke

"There are various ways to give up smoking - nicotine patches, nicotine gum. My auntie used to pour a gallon of petrol over herself every morning."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gormless", "Stupid", “Daft”,

Perhaps such judgements “could “, “should” be based on awareness and of consequences.
Although the “dangers” of petrol is apparent to many it does not mean to all.

The opinion that the “informed” think that the “uniformed” are stupid may be a fallacy.

I know many supposed intelligent people with large “data bases” of “facts”. Many of them I wouldn’t trust to make “beans on toast” for me.

When young I use to handle “detonators”, (fulminate of mercury) and could use them with little danger to myself. I can remember the excitement of them exploding.

However, the dangers had been shown to me, before I was allowed to handle them. I was cautious.

With the society we have at the moment with it safety precautions, rules and regulation many are not really exposed to the dangers of commonplace hazards.

That is why Maudica’s suggestion about “storing” fuels was stupid.

He may know how to store and handle such material, but he made an assumptions that “all” others “do”.

Free tasting for some.

Round up kills only green things ? just a thought

N,
Not feeling heavy at the moment, just irritable.

Never been very PC for its own sake.


But, I do reflect at my own dumbness I got "away" with, while trying to make unstable "halogens" as a teenager, consider myself very lucky. Others were disappointed with my luck.

Also, recall distilling alcohol from “rice and potato wine” smuggled into the school chemistry lab.

Haven’t the rules changed!

PS.

I am going to check with an elderly sister, whether "louse" was used by my father when somebody was "two ounces short of a pound".

Yep m, anything green. Green grass, green plants,envious or jealous,immature or gullible, green people concerned with enviromental issues, green vegetables. :-))
Anything that moves that is green come to think of it.

.

N,

No offence taken.

I am just wondering.

But "we" is "all right", or "alright".

Depends when or where.

8-)

Have a good "weekend"!


I hope I got that right.

The list of what Scargill did wrong is quite long. One is that he would not call for a strike vote.

I thought and still think that the local community charge (or what you call the poll tax) was an excellent policy. It would have meant that the amount of tax paid by a household would be related to the number of income tax payers (people with jobs). If you were unemployed you would have had benefits to cover the tax. Why should an old woman living alone pay as much rates as a family next door with four tax paying adults who consume at least four times the services?
