And don't park nose up a steep hill with a full tank!  You can get neat fuel
entering a cylinder and causing a hydraulic lock in it, and the starter
can't turn the engine.  We had that happen on a '64 Squareback, after which
the garage fitted the electro-magnetic cut-off valves.  Someone else who had
done the same tried to start it on the clutch and bent a con-rod.
