Whatever fuel may be left in the cars, it's a joke against the fuel oil in a wreck of this size


About a month ago there was an article in one of our tiny weekly local papers (more like 10 pages, 8 of them ads). The title was all about some oil spill concerns, and there was a picture of an overturned tanker truck that had come a little too close to a ditch alongside a rural road.

Then the article itself went on to mention the tank itself was fine; the concern they raised had to do with the amount of oil that had come out of the engine...

[Edit]

Here it is...

Quote:

"Its oil tank was not ruptured" [...] "A call to the oil company confirmed that a small amount of motor oil had leaked out of the truck’s engine when it toppled over into the ditch."

Clickbait much?
