had a beauty today
welding up the rear drivers side arch on the 410 when there was a large flash.
turns out i had a little leak in the fuel line oooopppphhhh very close
quick shower and change ov underwear after that.
i must have nicked a rusty spot on the line with the wire brush taking the muck off underneath.
lesson learned
