Angler mistakes rod holder for boat’s fuel tank; ‘expensive mistake’

A fisherman in Australia made a costly blunder when he went to fill up the gas tank of his boat at a 7-Eleven in West Pennant Hills, New South Wales. He mistook a rod holder for the gas tank, and the end result was not pretty.

With the nozzle securely sitting in the rod holder, 231.46 liters of gasoline poured onto the floor of the boat and into the bilge, as reported by Yahoo! News Australia.

The total cost? $536.76.

A man shot a video posted on Facebook showing the floor of the boat filled with petrol. It later shows the gas pouring out the back of the boat like a waterfall. A man is seen hosing away the gasoline. The video also shows where the mistake was made.

According to her, a total of 506 domestic violence cases were reported through the Talian Kasih hotline last year compared with 468 cases in 2021. Meanwhile, commenting on a news report involving a woman who claimed that she was denied entry into a police station because she was wearing shorts, Nancy said there should be no discrimination against any party. She said it was understood that the woman went to the police station to lodge a report after being involved in an accident.
