[QUOTE="arkquimanthorn:1209331"]LOL - william collins - Report this comment My memory of the tornado is very clear, I was working in a gas station on West Boylston St. That morning, a customer�s car, which I serviced among other things, filled his gas tank to the top. About an hour after the storm had past, this gentleman came walking into the gas station and said to me in a very nervous voice, � Hi Bill, I guess you didn't have time to pick up my car this morning and service it as you had promised?� I replied to Mr.----, � I did. I changed the oil, greased it, washed it, filled the gas tank, and then delivered it to your home on Asumption Ct.� He replied, � Bill, I know you to be an honest man but how do you explain that my car won't start and the gas gauge reads empty?� I took my costumer in our service truck and after navigating around a lot of debris by Diamond Match Lumber Co., and past what was left of Asumtion College, we turned into Asumtion Ct. The six decker on the corner had lost the whole top floor. We walked the rest of the way and came to my customer�s home, which was also in bad shape. His car was still setting in the spot where I had parked it. I got in turned on the ignition and tried to start the car. The engine turned over but would not start. I took a small amount of gas from a gas can that I had in back of the truck, and poured some into the carburetor. I tried again to start his car; it started right up but only ran for a few seconds, I tried once more with the same results. I then looked at the gas gauge and it showed empty. But how can this be I had put 12 gallons in the tank less than an hour ago. I then proceeded to check the car all over. The gas tank was sound and no leaks, He also had a Locking Gas Cap that was still on and in good coundition. I proceeded to check the gas line but that was OK. I then made sure the carburetor was OK. After a complete once over, I then put the remaining gas from my gas can into his car, then turned on the ignition and stepped on the starter. The engine started right away and ran perfect, the gas gauge registered a little over a quarter of a tank. I know that I had filled this tank around 4 o�clock before I had delivered it, had put the locking gas cap on. SO WHERE DID THE GAS GO, did that tornado suck the gas though the vent pipe on the gas tank??? If anyone has an idea please let me hear from you. I'm 75 years old now, and would love to know the solution before I pass into the great beyond. [/QUOTE]
