getting gas sprayed in your face hurts.... alot.
yes, yes it does. last time i change my fuel filter!
i forgot to de-presureize my fuel system, and i finaly got the fuel hose off my i had to stick my face in there so i could see how much further i had to pull on the tubing. so after i wigled my hands around my abs, i pulled with one final grunt, and all of a sudden gas shot out so quickly and sprayed me on my face, eyes, and shirt. i just stumbled back a few steps and rubbed my eyes in shock, and in pain. so i ran inside a flushed my eyes out with water. after the burning went away i went back out to my car. so as i went back, it banged with gas. then it hit me that i forgot to disconnect my battery! ahh! thats the last thing i needed to happen is my car to explode because of the fumes. well regaurdless, and to make along story short, i put it all back together and it works fine.... i think.
on a couple of days i stop and i can smell gas... but i am not sure if it is my imagination, or if there is something wrong.
i also changed my front 3 spark plugs. for some reason i could not get my back 3 out... almost like the wrench was too samll or big. so now i am also experiancing weird "blurps" if you will, when i am at a red light... and also it seems to hesitate when accelerating sometimes. i am gonna have to check everything over later when i get another day off. well thats my story.![Smilie](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Sorry to hear about the gas incident...

let's just hope that one of the "WARNING: BEFORE YOU DO THIS" messages you pay attention to is the "don't work on your car raised only by a jack", or the warning messages for working with springs, because those could get uglier than a spray in the face.

1.) plugs were nevr changed.
or
2.) car was taken to a dealership and was serviced.
or
3.) someone who had the car knew to put ngk's in.
my guess is either 1, or 2... probably and hopefully #2.

I kinda know how that feels! The first time I changed my oil I didnt know that oil came out of the filter when you took it out. I got under my car so I could get a good grip on it and turned it and hot oil came pouring down on my face. I got some in my mouth and all over my face, it wasnt fun.

I had a car battery pop in front of me..... I was about 3 or 4o feet away from it when it happened......... My Dad had a 74 Plymouth Duster, and the battery went out on it..... I helped him charge the battery, and when the batterey was charged, my dad went to start the car, and the top of the battery came off, and I got sprayed with a little bit of the battery acid..... I was extremely lucky that none of it got in my face or eyes.... That happened when I was about 12 years old....
