Default Warning

Regards MoriniMans post. I worked in the Mercedes Benz Dealer network from the 1980's untill a few years ago, and there was a bulletin issued From Germany warning of many of the components in engines, gearboxes, axles and brake systems but not limmited to them, that once heated over a certain temperature were classified as harmful. If they were melted, certain components of the materials became carcenogenic and once touched with bare skin could be absorbed almost immeadiately. If the skin was damaged it was reported in several cases that amputation of the effected fingers as in this case was required. This is why you are not allowed to trawl through burnt out wrecks in scrap yards any more, and the fire brigade/police have to take special measures when dealing with burnt out vehicles.
