Still in my first few weeks as a newly qualified fitter...
I was sent up an old loader gate, SO1's IIRC to find out why the swilley was filling up. There I found a submersible pump doing naff all. I'd spent my year in the surface workshops, I knew how they came apart, one of my mentors had shown me how to sprag the governer and I thought it was worth a go.
So I pulled the pump out of the water and started to strip down the guts from the air inlet. Thinking ahead I carefully placed all the bits on the conveyor belt to the side of me in the order I stripped them out.
All was going really well until the belt started up........
