Was just working on an older gas driven water pump with aluminum
housings and impeller. It had lots of corrosion, dirt, crud...the usual
in it. As far as I know and pretty sure it's only pumped water.
Anyway had to heat some of the hardware with a propane torch, got some
of the castings hot enough to sizzle the water out of them.
Some time during this started to get a strong smell....all of a
sudden real strong eye burning throat burning smell.....got the
hell out and turned the vents on. Had not used any liquid magic formula.
Any idea what that gas was?
Thanks
