Yessir. Found them in a tomato box in a customer's barn. He gave them to me, and I hung them on the wall of my old office.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner

Fart in the intake?

Not a good idea.
One of my customers had a septic tank pumping service. Instead of having an actual pump. the tank on the truck was sealed, and had a vacuum line that ran to the intake manifold on the gas engine. When the left for a job, they would open a valve and create a vacuum in the tank while driving to the site, then use the vacuum to suck up the tank contents.
What they didn't consider was how corrosive the fumes were. 40-50,000 miles on the engine and it was shot, and sometimes beyond rebuilding.

There was a guy who lived here for a while who attempted to bring a 911 to another island on a small barge towed by a boat. He neglected to untie one line on the starboard side while the boat was pulling on a line attached to the port side, the starboard side was pulled under as the port side was pulled higher tilting the barge and letting the 911 slide sideways off the barge into the water. It was later pulled up the boat ramp he drove it onto the barge, I don't know what happened to the car but several months later I was asked about the owner by a couple federal agents.

That's something I never used to see but it happened to me and a guy I work with. Both were alloy wheels, his was plated, mine was oxidation eating away the aluminum.

Had this happen to me also. The white 'Fix-a-Flat' ate holes thru the aluminum and I found out the hard way its not a long term solution or even a medium term.
Allegedly, if you got to have it, the green 'slime' is much easier on metal.
