    I don't think maintenance came into play there, strictly a matter of "Hey, let's get some FREE* petrol! Just like everyone else in Meeheco!" IOW sabotage.

    I always struggle with understanding how people could be so fucking dumb. I'm just too smart to be able to fathom how anyone could ever think it is a good idea to go near SPEWING gasoline like that, no matter how desperate you are.
    There is but one anchor to attach yourself to, as this world falls apart heading into the End Times. That anchor is the immovable God Almighty, through His Son Jesus Christ.

    Accomplished with what's known as a 'Mexican steamshovel'. That's why and how all that dirt was moved.

    I am unable to find anything regarding a 'Mexican steamshovel'. Could you provide an example?
