Colin had an old mower and after many years of faithful service the carburetor finally decided it was kaput.
The lawn refused to stop growing so with some lateral thinking Colin fed a hose from the air intake to the outlet of the petrol tank and with another pipe fed down to the bottom of the tank it enabled the air to bubble through the petrol before entering the motor.
Well the motor mower worked fine as long as the tank was full and so just adding a bit of water to the tank allowed the bubble up system to work.
So this day a friend stopped to chat and while Colin was mowing the lawn. However the motor mower spluttered to a stop and so Colin commented to his friend that it had run out of water and at that Colin turned the hose on and part filled the tank.
To add to the friend’s amazement he added a few hand full of grass.
This enabled the remaining petrol to vaporize well and run the motor again,
So a totally amazed friend now goes around telling people that he has a friend that runs his mower on water and grass clippings.
