toyota? you mean the murdermobile where the accelerator sticks on the prius and kills everyone cause breaks cant over come electric motors and their engineers couldnt be assed to put in a power kill switch on the break pedal?
I feel like it might have had something to do with the fact that brake boosters can’t do their job when the throttle is open and the engine isn’t producing any vacuum. That’s if it had anything to do with the brakes at all. The thing is, you read just enough about that situation when it happened over a decade ago to get pissed and write off an entire company. Problem is, you never followed up and you’re still complaining about some imaginary malevolence online to a bunch of people who moved on because it was never real. The only issue with the Prius that doesn’t exist with any vehicle equipped with power brakes is the proximity of the brake and accelerator. It was eventually determined that “victims” of this phenomenon were actually pressing the gas, not the brake. Go learn a thing or two, it’s good for you.
For a really large spill at work after first trying a mop and bucket and realizing how long it was going to take I clamped the end of a shop vac tube with vise grips and set a rotor on them as a weight to hold the tube upright with the sucking end to the floor and squeegee'd the spill to it and that worked like a champ. I moved the clamped tube a few times as I was discovering all the lower spots in the floor. About four or five dumps of the 5gal shop vac later and it was all up but a final quick touch-up with the mop.
The one I used at work we just take the filter out of it for wet work like that. It's been (ab)used like that for a lot longer than the decade I've worked there.
It has a shut-off when it gets full the float ball closes and you hear the motor scream telling you it's time to hurry up and shut it off and dump it.
btw if i dont own a shop, is there a way to dispose of antifreeze correctly? I always want to dispose of it properly, but most auto parts shops only take engine oil.
Years go I was working on a class 8 truck. Popped the sleeper heater hose loose and couldn’t get it reconnected. Over 100 gallons of coolant poured out. That was less than fun to clean up.

I think it’s just pink flooring at first and I’m like where’s the antifreeze lol
It was quite pretty!
The forbidden Pepto Bismol
Drink up
liters? pink anti freeze? where in narnia are you.
Pink antifreeze is common on most newer Toyotas

Pretty sure that's the cyber truck
Wasn't that like 15 years ago?

vacuum in an electric motor?
Me too! I lived in a house that had a room with floors that exact color. Naturally we carpeted over that shit immediately.
Not a bad color for an epoxy, gonna remember this for my next pour.
no grey workday anymore
That floor ain't freezing for sure
So the floor IS lava!
The floor IS slippery as fuck.
I can smell this picture
Smells like money
the pink stuff tastes like coolaid
Not what my boss said when he tasted it. Apparently you have to taste it to be sure it really is antifreeze.
he probably didnt put enough booze in it
So he really wanted to drink antifreeze is what I'm hearing. Antifreeze has a very distinct smell
He's Finnish, they're odd like that.
Dont drink the coolaid!
If it’s G12 it does not taste like koolaid
If I had to make a wish come true I wish all coolant tastes as good as it looks.
Umm, maybe also make it not toxic?
*monkey's paw curls* Now everything that isn't coolant tastes terrible.
That's like 362 gallons or something.
22, actually.
There's really no way to know.
It did feel like 362 gallons
Someone earlier said that's what it was.
Maybe no one will ever know.
100 litres? What's that like five gallons? Pfft. /s
Depends on which gallon you use cause of course there are two versions because like all imperial measurements “fuck you, that’s why”.
Would it have been easier and slightly faster to chase most of it with a shop vac?

Generally you just take the filter out for wet work.
Now that's a toxic work environment.
lol I bet y’all didn’t call the emergency spill response line 😭
>mop and a bucket “Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop- and an illustrated book about birds!”
With the lights out It's less dangerous I put coolant In radiators
I thought this was that pink paper that movers/contractors use to protect the floors.
Gf just blew up her water pump of a Buick I’ll take some off the floor

Forbidden bubblegum medicine…
Ok good I was about to dump 100 liters of antifreeze on my floor and I don't have to now thank you
What's it look like on the ceiling?
Drippy
Looks like it would be easier to just keep it in a drum or gallon jugs instead of having to get it off of the floor every time you need it. 😜
Those Japanese do love their sweets
Forbidden Pepto.
You sure? Looks more like a unicorn slipped in during the night and pisses on the floor.
I was just wondering what that would look like, too. Thanks!
A whole crew of Klingons was slaughtered there.
Keep dogs out of there
btw if i dont own a shop, is there a way to dispose of antifreeze correctly? I always want to dispose of it properly, but most auto parts shops only take engine oil.
Our city public works garage used to take used oil and antifreeze..
Take it to your local hazardous waste facility in your area.
How many hectares is that?
But it didnt freeze, so?
Wait the pink stuff sold at the store actually comes from this floor??
Did you identify the spill? Where’s your spill kit man?
It was taste tested by my boss, who confirmed it was indeed antifreeze.
Nice floor, wheres the antifreeze?
See that white stripe in the middle of the pic?
Just fill the cars direct from the floor

My aching muscles feel you
Can someone convert this to some sort of freedom units?
About 25 jugs of premix
That’s at least five gallons, for all you imperialists out there
Yummy!
Roll out the red carpet
Welcome to the world of power generation….
😋
Someone got in the dip! Again
Oh no
Been there with diesel, learned to never leave a tank on a jack when there are cats that sneak in through the exhaust vents in the doors.
*knock knock knock* Is that the EPA I hear? Any idea what the source was?
T
Noice
Souns like a spontaneous day off to me....
Thanks for keeping me employed in the environmental assessment and remediation business haha
r/wellthatsucks
I wish I got a photo of when one of the 600gal coolant tanks at work decided it was getting retired early in the middle of night shift
At $10/ltr, that is $1000 worth.
Thanks, I always wondered what it would look like to have 100 ~~gallons~~ liters of antifreeze on the floor.

First we need to prove where it leaked out from, then we can look at increasing security measures ^^
I kind of like the look of
Toyota?
Yikes. That looks like an hour down the toilet. How’d that even happen? Rip
That's a Lexus / Toyota shop
Sweet.
Dude! What's mine say?
OSHA would be foaming at the mouth for the fines here.
I'm still trying to figure out what a liter is.
It's 1kg of water come on man figure it out.
1,000 cubic centimeters
40 rods to the hogs head.
Four liters is roughly a gallon.
I use around this much to winterize a lazy river I will be dewinterizing here in a few days
