The crude way

I have seen one of my colleagues do a running rinse on a Porter, slowly pouring water from a bucket over the mesh screen. All was well until he slipped on the ladder and dumped the lot over the screen and put the fire out! ITTs came down rather rapidly after that. Can't say the same for the pilot's temperature though.
