Hose in the wrong tank? LOL They were just trying to clean up Prichard.

So I got the facts and found the driver of a fuel truck stuck his hose in the wrong tank and caused a fuel spill.  This is very dangerous and as another poster said, Prichard toilets could blow.

Gee, must be another stupid “dumb” scenario that really happened.  Surely no one in Prichard would do something so dangerous and “dumb”.

no, no.  I worked this one today.  Driver of fuel delivery truck was filling the wrong tank.  Stupid mistake that could have been bad.  Yay! for WKRG.  It was less than 100 gallons in a storm drain which got sucked out with a vac truck.

How true, how true. The gas can get into the sewer and cause an underground explosion. Toilets all over Prichard could go up and spread the stink all over the city and county of mobile. Opps, to late.  The city gov. already did that!

This is so silly for you all all to make up stupid scenarios like this, when this is a serious situation.  I was told by my sister who owns a business beside the texaco that a gas truck caused the spill.  This is what she was told by firefighters and police.  This is very dangerous just in case you’re too dumb to know!  So Get the facts before you post dumb comments!

Some thug thought he could probably hijack a gas tanker truck and keep his homies and their clown cars in gasoline so they could cruise the streets sharing their loud music.

Except he could not drive a manual transmission and forgot to take the hose out of the ground tank.

This is just a likely scenario, not fact, at least not yet.

Probably a “drive-off” gas thief that forgot to take the hose out!!
