I knew a guy who once fixed a leak in a gasoline line on his car with silly putty. The fire department was able to put out the fire.

Awww, come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. [leans arm on hot engine part, then jumps away] Heyya! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

They should have at least waited to see if it worked.

Soap in an emergency. It hardens almost on contact with gasoline. Saw it in action sealing a punctured gas tank.

trying to repair them using gauze and Band-Aids...

I tried that with my gall bladder.

Miserable failure.

At least he did not switch wheels from a nearby matching vehicle.

That used to work but now the lines are usually pressurized so I doubt it would be effective.

Ooops! The ‘Roads scholar’ was 26, not 47. It could not be Justine.

Just ordinary bar soap. Brown soap worked the best and I think naphtha soap bar as well.

Thanks! I’ve been a shade tree mechanic for decades and had never heard of that one. I’ll have to test that on the work bench just to see it work.
