The 31-year-old man didn't notice the mistake right away and pumped $60 of fuel.
Mistakenly putting the fuel pump into a fishing pole holder, a Florida man pumped $60 worth of gas onto the deck of his boat and on the ground of a gas station, officials said.

The gas flowed from the fishing pole holder and onto the deck of the 24-foot vessel. The 31-year-old man didn't notice the mistake right away and pumped $60 of fuel.
When the man was trying to clean up the mess, the gasoline started to leak from the boat and onto the ground at a 7-Eleven gas station.

Obviously a Trump voter who couldn't find Ukraine on the map if there was a U and a picture of a crane.
Thank God Trump will be impeached and removed from office /sarc

While some may find this amusing, it is obviously an innocent NOVICE mistake. A mistake made by a man not familiar with his vessel and not paying attention to detail.
In the end, no real harm. Just a lot of personal embarrassment.

Florida obviously has a maximum IQ limit of 50 for men.

I was at fuel dock when a “weekend boater” let his tank overflow. The bilge had about 5 gallons of gasoline in it.
Before anyone could stop him he turned on the bilge pump ——
OH BOY! HOT TIMES ON THE BAYOU!!!

If it was my boat I’d get some stronger straps on the back.

How was he “trying to clean up the mess”? With his electric bilge pump? :-)

Looking at the picture again, that looks like the truck he used to have too!!! Oh man!!!
The only saving grace for him is that this guy is 31, while my brother is 65!

He certainly got some harm when he got the bill from the HAZMAT cleanup company. They probably billed $1K each for the level B suits the guys in the picture are wearing.
