I never looked too closely at the hose fitting assembly.
ttps://
That doesn't show the disassembled connector but it is some variation on this theme:
That's the same process we used on hydraulic hoses.
You find someone with a running tractor same as jump starting from another vehicle.
OK, how did they get the first one started? ;-)
It happens. I've known people who have had their battery explode when they've jump started the car.
Not even the vacuum between their ears.
From any running vehicle with air brakes. That's what the "gladhands" do.
Either it held enough air, or it had an electric starter, or it was aired up from an air compressor, or it was started with a nitrogen tank, co2 tank, or scuba tank.
Read the jump starting instructions in ANY owners' manual. They ALL specify to connect the negative to the chassis grond as the lat connection.
20 dindus pushed it.
But how did that get there, daddy?
Sure, but who reads instructions? Even at that, it doesn't guarantee[*] that the battery won't explode but it does keep your face away from it when it does.
[*] Lessens the likelihood because it gets the spark away from the battery, though.
Virtually guarantees you won't blow up the battery unless you didn't make a good connection on the positive post
There are no guarantees, virtual or otherwise.
in over 50 years of working with batteries and on cars I have seen numerous battey explosions - NONE of which involved a properly connected booster battery - several that involved an improper booster connection - and a few that were caused bu defective batteries (bad internal connection that arced under load, blowing the battery "spontaneously" without any external source of ignition, and one that I blew up from about 15 feet away when it was on charge and I was using a hand grinder.
You know not of what you speak.
'nuff said.
Because the almighty Clair hasn't seen it, it *never* happens. Got it.
You're wrong, of course.
I only wish.

Thanks, I didn't read the thread far enough, sorry.

Yup, I didn't read or think far enough ahead...
They're at 1.1 bar.
Ayep. As I said though, I had a couple that didn't have electric fuel pumps.
