When we had our Jeep, we carried two full 5-gallon fuel cans on the back. I can't count the number of times I was approached by someone asking for money for gas. Every time I'd offer to put 5 gallons in their tank, and was turned down every time ("naw man, I just need the cash, you got any cash?") except for once.
I had a guy approach me in a local grocery store parking lot. He wanted money for fuel. I told him I'd give him 5 gallons, and he was seriously appreciative. While I was pouring it in, he told me his boss was supposed to deliver a paycheck but was an hour late. He offered to take my info and pay me, but I looked at it as a Good Sam moment.
Got the fuel in his tank, and as he started his car, another pulled up really fast. It was his boss, with his check.
One out of I can't count how many.
The guy I mentioned in the opening post in this thread said he was really out of gas and did not want to pull across the road to Krogers. At that time a guy returned the RV owners gas can filled with gas. He poured in the 5 gallons then said he could drive to Kroger's if I still wanted to fill up his MH.
Yes he had some gas I expect but it did hold 45 gallons which was very low especially with it getting dark on Christmas Eve and things closing.
I asked if he wanted me to fill his 5 gallon gas containers and he brought out 1. In Spanish I asked if he did not have 2. He said tres so I pointed for him to put the other two on the ground. I filled the tank but because of my physical limitations he took the hose and filled the 3 containers.
He had a blue, yellow and red 5 gallon fuel cans but when he was asking for gas he only had the red one setting beside the MH. :)
