You'd like to think so - I'll keep an eye out in case I see it again - it does work a busy district, so I might get lucky.

Got out of the shower this morning to find this critter doing laps of the bathroom. (that's only a 5l jerry, but it'll put you in hospital for a couple of weeks).

Didn't realise jerry cans were so dangerous
I'm quite pleased that mine are 20l cans and really quite benign

I use a 5 ltr for 2T mix and a 10 litre for lugging about .. neither of 'em have ever hospitalised me .. the lock on the 10 has bitten me a couple of times thoughI'm quite pleased that mine are 20l cans and really quite benign

Here and in Oz, you do learn to turn your boots upside down and give 'em a wack to see what falls out.sod living anywhere that you'd find one of them in yer boot/sock/troos
There are other pros & cons - it's 7am, the temp is a cool 28C but 87% ( it'll rain later and then the temp will only drop a few degrees).

I was working in Singapore a few weeks ago in that type of temp and humidity. I thought Singapore was a good place but working was bloody awful and I could get home soon enough.
Add the life threatening creepy crawlers and it would be a definite No from me.

The Elec. here in SE Asia can be a little unreliable, so it's common even for a rental to include a backup gen.
How the cabling is arranged relies entirely on the skill and imagination of the person doing the job.
"Safe" operation relies entirely on the user understanding the shortfalls - eg. the feed-in socket in the meterbox is always hot (no changover switch), failing to remember to turn off the meterbox isolater will result in trying to power the neighborhood with the gen (and of course, the gen will smoke when the supply is restored).
What could possible go wrong?

When is Engine Coolant "only" coolant?

Corrosion inhibitor, where freezing isn’t an issue!

Yes indeed.
A "cold day" here is when it drops below 25C!
I was looking for some glycol based coolant - doesn't seem to exist here.

'Real' Cummins water filters have a corrosion inhibitor 'tablet'/compound installed in them and need regular changing

First thought "that's a great idea"
then I wondered what alloys they are using to need this protection?
Are they going "above and beyond" to produce ultra long life engines or is it a band-aid to compensate for a compromise elsewhere.
That said, I wish coolant filters were more common.
