Luckly no one or anything was damaged (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Yep, gas filler is on the passanger side, filled up with fuel, went into the station to get something to drink and get a couple of lotto tickets...I guess the thought of winning the Lotto had my mind clouded...hop into the car and drove off... heard loud bang, oh $h!t, I ripped the nozzel and hose right off the gas pump...luckly it had some sort of break-away attachment that stopped the fuel from leaking out..... I went back into the station and mentioned "breaking" the hose, they just said thanks and they'll go out and fix it...I half expected that I'd have to pay for it.... 3rd bad thing to happen in the last few weeks for me so I think I'm good for another few years (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |

Hey
Well I worked at a full service station, and this happened once a month. People just have too much on the mind. we had about 20 nozzle tips in stock, about 200$. All the newer nozzle are made to break at the base of the snout so replacing the head is no longer needed. Imagine this, two 16 year old Gasjockies, 10 min before closing, deside to enjoy a large classic Canadian smoke. A local farmer desides to enjoy a strip club after work in the city. BANG He took out the entire pump, right off the base (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) It was in use filling another car. At the time there was only an emergency switch inside the shop. The time it took to say "Cooool", gas was pissing out of the base. 10 min = 10 police cars 3 Fire Trucks Enviroment officials (it made it to the drain, which is no longer allowed) PattyWagen (drunk driver) Freaked out Boss that was called in 2 Red eyed jockies making a police report...priceless. This happened over 20 years ago, times and regulation have changed in the gas dist. industry, this would never happen in todays equipement. The drunk driver was charged. I heard thru the grapevine that one of the jockies drive a 914..... Don't worry about it, worse tripps happen Later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
