I was almost done at wokr today and was gonna suck the machine coolant out of one of the machiens I run, then fill the tank back up tomorrow morning.
We use a portable vacume that is powered by shop air. Throw the ball valve one way, it sucks. Cap that port and throw 2 ball valves the other way it forces the coolant out through the discharge hose. The last guy to use it left just a little bit of pressure on it, and I was the next guy to use it. I wheeled it over to my machine, and went to hook up the suction hose to it. I started to loosen the cap, when I heard a slight amount of air leaking.
By that time it was too late. The cap blew off, batheing me in old smelly machine coolant. I was between the machines so I had nowhere to go but stand there and take it. Thankfully I had my safety glasses and hat on, so I didn't get it in my eyes. Did get some up in my sinuses though. Our lathe guy heard the big realease of pressure and happened to see atleast 1/2 of the bath I got. Thankfully I had a clean sweatshirt in my locker, and a T-shirt in my car. Was soaked through to my underwear, but not much I could do there. I got the mop and bucket and mopped up my mess after changing shirts, and went home. I'll have to mop up some more that's under the machine tomorrow morning....

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
