I was digging out concrete for my uncle versa lok wall, I got a chunk of rock stuck between the boom and my hydraulic cylinder, needless to say i got all 5 gallons of it from mouth to toe. Its always something.

I've had that happen more than once. Most of the time ( lucky for me) the fluid has been cool and not boiling hot. I've had to lines explode right before my eyes and drench me. Just throw the clothes away as you can never get the smell out.
But I'm just greatful I've never been sprayed directly in the eyes, cause that would just pain suck!
