Be Carefull Guys
just a little warning to everyone. dont try and run your car up to temp without making sure you have a bead and good hose clip on all your hot water
pipes. today one of my pipes burst off with the water temp at plus 100 degrees. resulting in two silly forum members with third degree burns and 2
good shots of morphine and a trip for gingea1pom to east grinstead special burns unit.
here are the picts ginge actually has no skin on his neck or arm. its all covered up with jelly and plastic underneath
be carefull guys

That's going to sting in the morning when the morphine wears off.
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Was wondering why you looked so happy until I read about the morphine.
Next time get ginge to set up a Hesco barrier around your car - that should stop it

also dont start your engine with tissue paper in the inlet!(left there for protective purposes)
, im telling you it was so close, if id just opened the throttle things could have gone a little messy.

Wow, thats nasty 
I could have had a similar problem a few weeks back when my oil pipe gave up for the same reason at 96 degrees (water temp)
It now has jubilee clips on it and is riveted to the chassis to phisically cannot move.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Two things spring to mind:
1 - I'm sorry but when the meds wear off, that's going to hurt!
2 - The watch over the bandages is class!

NEver done that - but did open a radiator cap once a car was up to temperature (it had just been for a razz round). Yes it was stupid, i wasn't
thinking straight.
It flew about as high as a house and I was covered in little drops of the water. That stung - you guys must be in agony by now!
Hope you get well soon.

Ouch! Nasty.
On the plus side 3rd degree burns are so deep they tend to destroy the pain fibres and are actually less painful than 2nd degree burns....
Silver lining?!?!?!
get well soon!

So sorry to hear this Ash,
All that effort over the last fortnight by the two of you to get the car on the stand this weekend.
Only for something like this to happen.
