[QUOTE="svk, post: 5088364, member: 41967"] Every time someone mentions a big diesel generator this story comes to mind. A friend worked at one of the local mines and they had several generators like the one [USER=120417]@Marshy[/USER] posted. They would always laugh because when you would fire them up, oodles of bats that were roosting in the exhaust pipe would come barreling out. One time they went to turn over the engine and WHOOMP! It stopped suddenly. Tried it again and again. Nothing. Engine was apparently stuck. Pulled a head off and one of the cylinders was completely full of mashed bat. Apparently the one cylinder that had an open exhaust valve was deemed a very hospitable roosting spot and bats literally filled the entire cylinder. Needless to say, screens were added to all exhaust pipes after this. [/QUOTE]
