or how I froze my thumb I had no idea of the danger. The kid was filling the propane tank and before I knew it he had pumped in more than the tank holds. Wowa here. That ain't right. It is supposed to kick out at the 80% full level. Right? So to make sure that it was down about 20%, I opened the bleeder valve (or whatever its called. The small brass thumb wheel on the right side as you face the tank). After it had bled off some propane, I closed the valve. Too Cool. I felt nothing. No pain. Nothing. Before I knew it my thumb tip was frozen. It took about about an hour of sucking my thumb before it started to hurt. That was about a week ago. Now its just like a burn but without the swollen blister phase. -Cool Hand Larry |
