A Florida man was so excited to go fishing with his pals he did not notice he was putting 30 gallons of gas on the boat’s cockpit. Apparently, he did not notice that he put the gas nozzle on the fishing pole holder instead of the gas tank.
“After the 32-year-old boat owner from Orlando realized he just pumped $60 of fuel into the wrong place, he pumped $40 more into the right place,” the Fire Rescue told the story in a Twitter post.
A hazmat team was dispatched and they were able to siphon most of the gas out of the boat. Thankfully, nobody was harmed.
I pity the man and his friends, however, as they surely got delayed.
I wonder if they were able to go fishing after.
