Oh, that’s gotta hurt!
100 GALLONS AND HIS TANK IS STILL EMPTY. . .
The high cost of fuel got a little higher Tuesday for one boater
who was feeling a little ‘fuelish’ in Stuart, FL, when he pumped
about 100 gallons of $4.39/gallon gasoline into the boa's fishing
rod holder. Not only was it an expensive mistake - the gas tank was
still empty at the end of the day. A employee of the Finest Kind
Marina said the owner of the 28-foot center console fishing boat
was getting ready to fill his gas tank when his cell phone rang.
Distracted, he put the fuel hose in the rod holder, which was only
about 6 inches from the fuel tank and looks similar to the fuel
tank opening. He walked to the other end of the dock to talk on the
phone while his "tank" was filling. The fuel went into the bilge
and the mistake was discovered when the fuel got high enough to
kick on the bilge pump. From SailingScuttlebutt.com.
