Yeah, and don't stand there with your face close to the spark plug hole
to look for gas when you crank it over- because it will SHOOT out if it
is full.
Probably shouldn't use a match to look in the spark plug hole either :-)

My neighbor thought that he had froze the engine in his GMC Jimmy while working on the carb(or FI). I said,"check and see if your cylinders are ful of gas". "How" he asked. I told him to remove the sparke plugs and then crank it over. I didn't think to tell him he should also remove the spark plugs and wires from the vicinity. Soon I hear a lound "WHOOMPH" and then a lot of nervous shouting and yelling. I go over to see what's the matter. Lots of smoke! Seems I was right. His cylinders were full of gasoline....
