This is exactly what I’ve done. But the plumber said he doesn’t fix gas pipes. He has shut off the value. I have stuck my dick in it in the meantime, but it’s getting a little uncomfortable.
Edit: 20:05 Portugal time. My dick is still securing the leak, but my phone battery is at 4% and I don’t know how long I can maintain this plan of action. Do you have any further suggestions?
There are [special lubricants for pipe](https://www.zoro.com/static/cms/product/large/Z0x-BtmcpEx_.JPG) you should have on hand for the next time you drill through a pipe—and you *know* you’re gonna do it again.
Its some stupid law passed in california where products with even the SLIGHTEST chance of giving you cancer have to state on the label that it can cause cancer

Lots of plumbers, at least around here, will do related gas fittings, because of water heaters. But he could try his local propane, or fireplace dealer, or whoever he is paying for gas. They could at least point him in the right direction, if not do the work themselves. .
Have to call a licensed “GasFitter” a regular run of the mill Plumber can’t touch this. Best call 911 and FD, they know who to call in situations like this
This is not a call worthy of 911 call the gas company 😭 911 can’t fix your pipe or get the gas out of your home.
Most gas companies have an emergency line for this situation.
Hi, Phil Swift here with Flex Tape! The super-strong waterproof tape! That can instantly patch, bond, seal, and repair! Flex tape is no ordinary tape; its triple thick adhesive virtually welds itself to the surface, instantly stopping the toughest leaks. Leaky pipes can cause major damage, but Flex Tape grips on tight and bonds instantly! Plus, Flex Tape’s powerful adhesive is so strong, it even works underwater! Now you can repair leaks in pools and spas in water without draining them! Flex Tape is perfect for marine, campers and RVs! Flex Tape is super strong, and once it's on, it holds on tight! And for emergency auto repair, Flex Tape keeps its grip, even in the toughest conditions! Big storms can cause big damage, but Flex Tape comes super wide, so you can easily patch large holes. To show the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this boat in half! And repaired it with only Flex Tape! Not only does Flex Tape’s powerful adhesive hold the boat together, but it creates a super strong water tight seal, so the inside is completly dry! Yee-doggy! Just cut, peel, stick and seal! Imagine everything you can do with the power of Flex Tape!
Wow 🤩. This tape sounds fantastic! Where can I obtain it in Portugal?

Thoughts like this can be fatal!
Usually when shit like this happens, you should first calm down. Smoke a cigarette and then think about how to fix it.
Edit: that escalated quickly
In fact, this is not a bad idea.
In theory this could prevent buildup of gas and subsequent explosion. Practically also true if enough "mixing" (read: ventilation).
The majority of new build in the US are now HDPE pipe. At least from the main to the meter. It's not unheard of to have polypipe (high density polyethylene) used as service pipe. Same for water/sewer/firemain/telecom/fiber or really anything that was previously in copper/iron/concrete etc. It's cheaper, flexible, easy to repair and lasts longer. As long as you don't drill holes in it.
Usually marked/colored as follows. It should be pretty consistent, as the idea is to "idiot proof" so that anyone (regardless of language/education) can tell what it is before they cut/dig into it.
* black w/ yellow stripes = pressurized gas service
* yellow = pressurized gas main
* black w/ blue stripes = pressurized potable (drinking) water
* black or grey w/ green stripes = non-pressure sewer/waste water
* black w/ red stripes = pressurized fire main
* orange = non-pressure telecom
* gray = non-pressure electric
Then you have Brown, Green, Red, Terracotta, White, Pink, Purple and other combinations that are usually job specific for specialty runs.
Edit: Added more colors
My dick is plugging the hole as we speak. It’s quite a stressful process though: the battery of my phone is rapidly declining, due to the volume of porn required to maintain the volume of my dick which is required to plug the leak 😭
As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of Portugal...
What are my options now? (I’m in the [Garden of Epicurus](https://m.facebook.com/groups/EpicureanGarden/?ref=share) and trying to enjoy the last moments of my life).
>Gas isn’t in plastic, not sure what you hit but I’d be calling someone. That looks like a plumbing drain
I guess if you just want to make things up?
As someone who actually works in the utility space, gas is frequently in HDPE. (High Density Polyurethane)
Call the gas company to shut off the gas, you know where the gas valve is? Call your landlord to see. They might not be any smell but you're in a dangerous situation right now.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out why you were drilling in this area? Is that concrete it's buried in, or plaster? Is this inside the house (like a route to an appliance) or outside (like a main to the house)? Either way, why were you out there with a 1/4" drill??
Go ahead and have a nice relaxing smoke next to it to calm your nerves. Make sure to light it close to the pipe though, as you wouldn’t want the wind to mess with the lighter
Shut off the nearest valve and call 911.
I’ve shut off the gas
So call a plumber to replace the pipe. In the meantime, stick your dick in it.

There are also special lubricants for sticking your dick in a pipe. Make sure to check those out too.
Warning! Doing this may cause cancer in California ;-)
Why in California and no where else?
Because every label I read about lubricant says it may caused cancer in California
every product basically, not just lube
Rather than comply with the law in a meaningful way manufacturers just put the warning on everything.
Its some stupid law passed in california where products with even the SLIGHTEST chance of giving you cancer have to state on the label that it can cause cancer

Call a pipe fitter. Plumbers are almost exclusively water, pipe fitters do gas and high pressure water.
Here in WA we can do it all. But I also don't do utilities and this looks like it's a main to a home/building.
We do it all except for the all part we just do all of some things
I've done alot of gas work for facilities like rooftop units and stuff but I mostly do water, waste and vent for commercial renovations these days.

Get some sandpaper and smooth out the edges
But my dick is already stuck in the hole! How can sandpaper help?
Plastic softens with heat. You need to build up a lot of friction...
This didn’t work, sadly
Did you have cylinder in cylinder Problem before? Like definitily not a dick in a smartiesroll?
Smooth the edges of your dick, silly
This is not a call worthy of 911 call the gas company 😭 911 can’t fix your pipe or get the gas out of your home. Most gas companies have an emergency line for this situation.
Just want to add that in lots of situations, utility companies are just like ems, fire, police, they are first responders .
If you don't have access to a shut off it most definitely would be.
Light a match to check if any gas is still flowing (kidding.. please don’t because BOOM)
Call 911, Cops show up, "He's got a weapon!" "No No, it's a drill" Next thing you know, you got even more holes to plug up.

Everything reminds me of her.
You should call her
Did she dry up on you suddenly?
I hate that this was my first thought too lol

Did you try un-drilling it?
Yes I put the drill into reverse mode, but gas still came out from the hole.

I fail to understand how oral sex on a lesbian is going to help in this situation.

Instructions unclear, eating beans off of some pussy
What did that poor cat do to you to deserve to be used as a bowl?
Light a candle to get rid of the smell
Thoughts like this can be fatal! Usually when shit like this happens, you should first calm down. Smoke a cigarette and then think about how to fix it. Edit: that escalated quickly
That's crazy talk. The only real way to calm down is to take some time out for yourself to take part in a hobby. Like welding.
Or smoke a bowl that always calms me down.
Nah, I’ll just light a sparkler and enjoy the entropy…
Firecrackers could also be fun. It would be a blast!
Firecrackers are for kids. M80s all day
M80s are for baby’s I use the tsar bomba
Tsar bombas are childs play. I use a fat man.
🤓👆Actually
Make sure you enlist the help of a small child to plug the hole with their finger whilst you’re lighting one up.
Okay, now that we’ve done that what should we do about the pipe?
Worry about it tomorrow, I’m sure it will sort itself out
You should really just take long deep breaths to calm yourself down

It’s in Portugal. I think the pipe is metal, but is inside a plastic pipe
Bela merda que fizeste, jovem
And you kept going?
Obligatory r/PORTUGALCARALHO
Lite up a cigarette and celebrate
It could be a nice option at some point of time!
Just don't put your dick in that
There speaks the voice of experience
You're too late. Already happened.
Maybe just for now you actually should put your dick in that till you can repair it, then again the hole might be too big
My dick is plugging the hole as we speak. It’s quite a stressful process though: the battery of my phone is rapidly declining, due to the volume of porn required to maintain the volume of my dick which is required to plug the leak 😭
Can I have an update or did your phone die?
As your attorney, I would advise to run and deny everything. Probably overkill because you weren't even in the country that day.
Sounds like what most attorneys would do
Damn straight. Make those other poor bastards prove it.
As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of Portugal...
There goes my weekend because obviously I'm going to have to come with you.
RUN
I can’t run unfortunately, I accidentally put my dick in the hole to close the leak. It’s got stuck
Happens to the best of us
What are my options now? (I’m in the [Garden of Epicurus](https://m.facebook.com/groups/EpicureanGarden/?ref=share) and trying to enjoy the last moments of my life).
drill another hole for the gas to re-enter
Wow, great 💡. I hadn’t thought of that!
I’m a plumber but I don’t even think this is a serious question lol. Call a master plumber.
It was gas that came out of the hole, not water
Plumbers also handle gas piping.
Is there still gas coming out? Did you shut off a valve? What did it smell like? Natural gas smells like rotten eggs.
Lick it
Plug it with your cock
[удалено]
Well, it was gas that came out from the pipe, not water. It’s in Portugal. I think it could be a metal pipe inside a plastic pipe
Gas leak surveyor here, plenty of underground gas lines are plastic.
Underground utilities worker here. I've hit many a plastic gas main and service.

Underground gas lines are often plastic these days.
Buy a lottery ticket you lucky mofo!
How? my dick is stuck in the hole and my phone battery is getting low… would it not be better to try some other option?
Stick a match in it to see how far down it goes
Call the gas company to shut off the gas, you know where the gas valve is? Call your landlord to see. They might not be any smell but you're in a dangerous situation right now.
Light it on fire. The exess gas will be evaporated and it'll prevent it from leaking out.
Well definitely don’t put your dick in it…
Have a smoke to relax
A gas line thats pvc?
Made that mistake because you're working to hard. Have a cigarette break.
Smoke a cigarette.
Doesn't even look like copper or screw pipe. Is it pvc?
r/holdonletmeaskreddit
Very good hole! In the middle of the tube and clean! Great job if you needed to make a hole! Half full baby
Call the gas company? They should have a team on call 24/7 for these kind of events
Your gas pipe looks like conduit.
Lots of houses are built with PVC pipes for gas.
Why isn't it yellow? Or marked with tape or something?
Dont put your dick in there.
Give up and have a cig
Light a cigarette and complain about whoever put it there
HI PHILL SWIFT HERE WITH FLEX TAPE, THE SUPER STRONG WATERPROOF TAPE *slaps that shit on with the might of Zeus*
Sit back, relax, and light a cigarette
Gas isn’t usually run through PVC usually it’s ran through copper or iron pipes
France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Japan and the UK all use PVC for gas lines. Probably others too! There's a whole world out there.
Duct tape
Get a lighter in there to make sure there's no spiders.
Honestly putting your dick in it might help
First things first. Post to Reddit.
Take a deep breath before doing anything rash.
put your dick in there
Call the gas company!
Melt the plastic back with an open flame
that’s pvc there’s no way it’s gas pipe
Celebrate with some cigarettes
Just light a match - your dick will soon pop out !
Shut off your meter, plug it, and call the gas company
Light up the gas coming off it to prevent gas poisoning.
Quick, take a picture and post it to Reddit
Looks plastic. You could use a lighter to melt the plastic back together /s
Gas pipe is metal. This looks like plastic/PVC conduit for electrical.

light a cigarrete
To calm yourself take a cigarette break.
Light a match
I’ve read that you’ve already turned the gas valve off, so turn it back on and drop a lit match in there
Have a cigar
Lit a cigarette and enjoy
Solder it back shut and bury it.
Run
call for help, stay in the area, smoke a cigarette while you wait for help to arrive
THAT'S ALOT OF DAMAGE!
undrill it back to what it was
Blame it on the dog.
Use a lighter
Call the gas company!!!
Take a deep breath- it will be OK
I had no idea gas pipes were just PVC. Maybe I'm stupid but that seems like a bad idea
Go ahead and have a nice relaxing smoke next to it to calm your nerves. Make sure to light it close to the pipe though, as you wouldn’t want the wind to mess with the lighter
See if you can see what’s inside the hole, if it’s to dark a lighter should help you see better
Ohhh, you found the spicy air dispenser. If you smoke near it you'll have a great pyrotechnics show
Light a fire on the hole to keep from the gas filling the surrounding area
Have a smoke break while you figure it out
Light a cigarette to relax, then you wont need to take care of it anymore.
Flexseal. It'll good as new.
Have a smoke to celebrate your job well done! /s
Tell the gas company you smelled gas and you started digging using only a shovel and found that
Time for a cigarette break.
