| I ran out of windshield washing fluid in my car today and bought some more but I am afraid to open up the car hood. I have always had someone else do it, and the last time the persons hand slipped and they almost dropped the hood on their fingers. That's my main fear is the hood slipping and breaking my fingers, that and once you get the hood propped up, all that's holding it in place is a thin piece of wire that also looks like it could easily come loose. Anyone have any advice, or should I just try to have someone else do it? | |

the engine of your car can literally blast through the hood at any time, beware. |

-make sure to turn the fuel pump on for a good 10 seconds before trying to start it to make sure it's nice and flooded -try to run an engine, now flooded with fuel, with no exhaust manifolds on it with the fuel tank on the windshield -after the first time it backfires continue as you were, surely the fireball that just cooked all of your arm hair won't happen again -once it catches fire, try to blow it out with the air from your lungs -whilst it's on fire, try to start it again, because the 'internal' part of 'internal combustion engine' isn't all that important at this stage -fire extinguishers are for idiot nerds

you could take the whole hood off completely, that would negate risk of it breaking any fingers |

Let your car cool off then carefully open the hood. Walk the car step by step slowly through your actions so it doesn't get scared and jumpy.

here's what you do: you pull up at a gas station and while getting your gas filled you say to the attendant, casual like, "check her for oil, would you?" while he's messing about under the hood, give him the windshield washing fluid canister and ask him to empty it into the tank since the hood is already opened. be sure to tip well. |
