30 GALLONS OF FUEL PUMPED INTO HIS ROD HOLDER

Post by WB Staff »

gas pumped into rod locker.png
n. 28 (UPI) — Firefighters in Florida sent a hazmat team to a gas station where a man filling up his boat confused a fishing pole holder for the gas tank.

Orange County Fire Rescue said the customer at 7-11 in Orlando, Florida was planning to fuel up his SeaHunt Center Console about 11:30am on Monday when he accidentally pumped 30 gallons of gas directly into his rod holder. The fuel splashed right into the cockpit. Its not known why he let it continue fueling, maybe he went back in the store to buy snacks or just didn’t notice?

Nothing difficult, more or less walking and chewing gum at the same time

It's like forgetting to put the plug in, except NOT!
We've all made mistakes, but most of ours won't blow up the boat.
