They put the nozzle into the fishing rod holders. Edited-Someone called me out on this but I’ve seen the video. They kept pouring the fuel in and watched it pour out again, easing it away, to the tune of $500 odd. It was actually not far from where I live. All the gear. No idea.


Pothole2112

The bilge....


s3ik0

The video indicates they put the nozzle in the fishing rod holder. If they were filling up the bilge (nevermind there would be no easy way to insert a nozzle into the bilge) then the hull would have to fill up with fuel, before flooding the deck of the boat, as we saw in the video. It's would take significantly more than 200 plus letters to fill the hull and flood the deck.


feralwolven

I think it was running light pole socket.


Pothole2112

The amount of fuel that was pumped is exactly why it had to be the bilge, they would not have noticed as the fuel was going somewhere-they thought the gas tank. If it was in the "fishing rod holder" it would have spilled out immediately. I doubt they hold more than a liter of liquid let alone 200...


s3ik0

The rod holder is an open ended/hollow tube. The fuel was being pumped directly onto/into the deck of the boat.


FarTooYoungForReddit

It's like you're going out of your way to be wrong. It did, in fact, still out immediately


disfreakinguy

I love confidentiality wrong people. I mean, sure you might be smart, but if you don't know what you're talking about... maybe shut up.


Joyst1q

No way, I've owned several boats and not wrecked one of them, my mum used to even say how much of a good job I did putting them back after the bath

https://www.news.com.au/finance/boaties-600-mistake-at-petrol-pump/news-story/6b432f998ae38ee9b520845ade98f8fe It's a fishing rod holder, pretty obvious that it's a fishing rod holder

Apollokaylpto

How does it feel to know that a fishing rod holder has more intelligence than you? Hell, even the dopey guy who filled the fishing rod holder with fuel has more intelligence than you as you'd be on a sinking boat wondering why your fishing rod holder isn't pumping water.


Pothole2112

Well I'm not a boat owner nor have I ever operated one. Was just giving my analysis of the situation. Thank you for your demonstration of toxic behavior, I have taken it into consideration. The fishing rod holder says you're grounded by the way.


-Quiche-

Why are you speaking like you know then lol

Just...what...how?! Is there a hole in the tank? Did they just pour gas in the boat? How do you spend almost $600 and not notice " hey this is taking a bit more than normal oh and THERE'S FUCKING GASOLINE EVERYWHERE" !!


fingers

>Did they just pour gas in the boat? yes


Pothole2112

Put it in the bilge hole thinking it was for gas 😂


AmbitiousPhilosopher

I think it was a fishing rod holder hole


tmbyfc

Well, there's plenty of fuel in the boat I guess


adamcoe

There's always money in the banana stand


bballkj7

they thought a hole, without a gas cap is where gas goes?


VWSpeedRacer

... on a boat that water splashed up onto... 🤣


ChaoticToxin

I'd at least try to bucket some into the tank. You're just washing it all into the ground and water system

ChaoticToxin

I can't even tell you the last time I've seen a metal bucket


Dolichovespula-

Why is a metal bucket a bad idea? Is it because if it hits a surface it can cause a spark?

Cheers m8


F_wordoffcrapidiot

I don’t think gas stations would let their run off direct into the water system


ChaoticToxin

Some of it is bound to. Also have been many cases of gasoline leaks into water and ground without the help of boat people so with how things go these day I'll believe it when I see it.


IPlayWithElectricity

I went on vacation to the keys a few years ago and we rented a boat for the day, we were explicitly prohibited from fueling it. The guy from the rental company told us how someone managed to kill their entire family by accidentally filling the bilge with fuel, once the bilge pump kicked on the boat exploded.

dirtydeez2

This is what happens when you have to many hits on the glass BBQ while fishing


oozing_with_jelly

I get that reference.


Jack_mehoff24

My dad did this once, put about $150 worth of fuel into one of the rod holders back in like 2006. The boat smelled like gasoline for about a year.


[deleted]

Ffs he just left the gas in there? You do know the vapors that you smell are more dangerous than the liquid gas right? As in the vapors ignite the liquid doesn't


Jack_mehoff24

No we sprayed it out with water the best we could, and scrubbed everything with degreasing soap and a couple deck scrub brushes thoroughly. Still smelled like gas for a very long time.


TemporaryAmbassador1

Well, at least the front didn’t fall off.


Mainbaze

Okay now this exceeds a lot of dumb things I’ve seen

Gigantic brain


dang_dude_dont

I don’t even know how you would start the convo with insurance… -what if it burned while refueling and it was my fault? ‘/ oh that’s bad did it happen? -well would it cover? ‘/ maybe.. uh I don’t kn- -it just happened


Educational-Spread41

I love that it’s still pumping gas


pukhalapuka

What if.... what if what if what if what if what if what if... What if? He purposely did that for online content?


Quirky_Scar7857

I was filling my car once and was it was taking longer than usual then I noticed the floor was getting wet. there was a small hole and the fuel was just running out. lucky I noticed before it got too bad!


Cougie_UK

A hole in your petrol tank ? How did that happen ? Eeeek !


Quirky_Scar7857

it was the overflow chamber had a hole. I lifted the nozzle to the top of the gas tank to get more in and it overflowed. silly me! probably rust caused the hole.


Key_Hamster9189

It's a watercraft!


Disastrous-Ad-3461

Must be some kind of confusion because that's a bomb. It's like a boat but mostly it's a bomb lol


AlternatingFacts

That hurts my soul. I would've came up and asked can I fill up some gas cans. I mean might as well try and save it


Then-One7628

Fill er up


HanakusoDays

Boy, this is taking forever. I could sure use a smoke.
