What are the chances...?

On our way home from a recent trip, I stopped to fuel up and... the pump on the opposite side of the island didn't shut off automatically when the guys tank was full. Out pumped about 4-5 gals. of gas all over the place before I saw it and turned it off. Now I've got all this gas running straight at my vehicle. I had already taken my TL Fastgun off and placed it on my bed rail. In my haste to get the h... out of there, I forgot about my fastgun. Today as I get ready to unload I noticed that it was missing. Well the Fastgun gods must have been watching over me because I had a 50% chance that it would end up falling into the bed or a 50% chance of it falling onto the road. LUCKY me, it was in the truck bed! :) I didn't have a in-trip checklist or a quick exit strategy list before this, but I do now, for now on I'll place it on drivers floor.

  • You have to remove your tiedown to put fuel in your truck? Happy ending!


    Yep, some folks do.

    Instead of removing it, couldn't you release the bottom and just let it hang? Or at least set it in the driver's area so you can't forget to put it back on. Few more steps, but could save lots of headaches.

    Glad they were in a good mood and let it fall the correct way.
