I was cleaning my fuel injectors. I had one of them under full fuel pressure pointing into a trash can and had opened it up with a small electrical charge from the battery. It was blowing a beautiful fog of fuel when I disconnected the battery, it sparked. The fuel ignited and the trash can funneled the flame cloud right at my face. I fortunately closed my eyes in time to prevent damage to them, but I lost large patches of skin from my nose and cheeks and I had shut my eyes so tightly that my crows feet were scorched into my face.
As Frankenstein says 'Fire Bad.'
