It wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't just filled the 20gal tank. By
the time she got home, about 2 miles, the tank was DRAINED.

Id just paid $3.19 per and filled that 20 gallon tank. I managed to
salvage about 3 gallons.

If I were at home up north, I could have saved a lot of it..but down
here in LA..Ive got no containers of any sort.

It really sucked watching that expensive sheen on the water flowing
away down the gutter....

Are you brain damaged? Did you stick your mouth under the dripping
gas tank and try to save it that way? Is this the reason you're so
****ing stupid and such a retarded idiot?

Do you have a mop pail in your home? How about a metal cooking pot?
With the cost of gas these days, I would have drained the gas into
anything that holds liquids, then gone to the nearest hardware store,
walmart, kmart, dollar general, convenience store, or whatever was
open, and bought some gas cans or pails really fast. Or what about
calling the fire department, they have pails and would have been there
in an instant.

It's not only the price of the gas, but the pollution you caused, and
heaven forbid anyone drops anything flammable down a storm sewer for
several miles downstream. This is not a joke. Years ago I lived a
mile from a gas station. They were getting their tanks filled when
there was a spill in the amount of 200 to 300 gallons. The gas got
into the storm sewers. Our house, (a mile away) began to fill with
gasoline fumes. By the time we thought it was bad enough to call the
fire department, we got a knock on the door and it was the Fire Dept.
telling us they were shutting off our natural gas at the meter to kill
all pilot lights, we were to open all house windows, especially the
basement windows, and went to our basement and pulled the main
breaker. The whole area was filled with emergency vehicles, and all
fire hydrants were opened to flush the storm sewers. People closer to
the gas station were evacuated entirely.

The odor was very strong and concentrated in our and our neighbors
homes because we lived downhill, and at the end of the sewer line
because that's where the roads ended before a park. The gas had
accumulated down near our (end of the road, bottom of hill) pipes, and
due to the way the raingutters were piped into the storm sewers, the
fumes entered the basements of these homes.

For some reason, people who had sump pumps got the fumes worse, so
many of those homes were evacuated. We did not have a sump pump, but
the fumes were still very strong. This affected homes several miles
away. It was only due to the fire dept. flushing the pipes that there
were no explosions or disasters.

You sir, deserve the "stupidest idiot of the year" award !!!!!
(and yet you got the nerve to make a joke of it) !!!!
You should be locked up in a prison cell or mental asylum before you
kill someone !
