Long oil spill from this Main Street U.S.A. vehicle late last week.

Good they got it covered up before the kiddos started splashing around in the Main Street slip n slide or splash pad. It sure extended a long way before anyone noticed and got the vehicle to stop.

I work in a gas station, just put some sand on it, let it soak and then sweep it up. It's not a big issue. Just hope no one chucks a lit cigarette on it in the meantime 😅

Couldn't happen, no smoking in WDW and everyone knows that civilization is advanced enough that they wouldn't go against the rules. (Sarcasm, in case it wasn't noticed)

FLASHBACK: Years ago (1950's) when I was a kid, my father managed a trucking company. Tanker trailers mostly. There was an old mechanic that worked for him at the time. I'm talking old here. Trucks back then were mostly gas engines and it wasn't uncommon for there to be fairly good sized metal drain pans full of gasoline randomly sitting around the shop. For the fun of it, the old guy loved to scare me half to death but taking his lite cigarette and flicking it into those pans. He thought It was funny to watch me scream with fear. Obviously, nothing happened and the gas would actually just put the cigarette out. Now I don't recommend that anyone try this at home because at my age I might have just been told it was gas and it wasn't. The moral of the story is... if you think old people are butt-holes now, they were much worse back then.

I have tossed lit matches into gasoline without igniting it just have to be sure there is no vapor present. Wouldn't do it again but I was young

There was a clown in our neighboring town that took a pan of gas and threw it at his friend who was working on his car and was taking a cigarette break at the time. ( I think he said afterwards that he thought it was water and he didn't realize it was a pan of gas) But the poor guy was lit on fire and suffered massive burns. He got life flighted to a burn unit in Boston.
