All I want is a pint of fuel

How does this one work then?
Parked up in Dunstable and I get a bang on the door, fella in a flat cap with a caravan dwelling accent has apparently broken down in the car park opposite and all he needs is enough fuel to fill the filter, apparently he’ll give me a fiver for it.
I know he’s on the blag, I just can’t figure out what he’s after.

he is after the chance to rob and con you same as the rest of them…the pint is the opener. he will prob have a electric pump and a few cans if your daft enough to interact with him.
tell him your running on the fumes till another truck comes out to top you up tomorrow or itl be by by fuel,load,and your cab belongings.
they all work from the same script.

Normally before you blink an eye it’s a syphon and pump into your tank and removing most of the contents into another tank in their van. They’re after your fuel, a lot of it :imp:

Should anyone be daft enough to be taken in by the shyster, he’ll use a pump fast enough that a 25 litre drum or 3 will have vanished whilst you’re busy trying to stop his countless brats from pilfering the contents of your cab.
sorr.

He’ll take more than…

A fiver’s worth. If you remonstrate, his brothers and cousins will magically appear.

No way I was getting out, might jump out in a bit and grab a spare strap to go between my door handles tonight. It’s not exactly a secluded place though, I’m right on the main road

Who may or may not be the same person.

I’d be tempted to move if your able to. Never know what they’ll get up to later

I was tempted but I’m 3 pints up and 10 minutes shy of 15 hours now. Like I said, I’m not exactly in a secluded area, hopefully that counts for something

Strapping door handles is a wise move :exclamation:

And perhaps a call to the police to advise them

A lot of derv fairies at the moment in Dunstable, especially where all the lorries park around Wickes and Sainsburys. The caravan dwellers have set up camp near the new junction 11a.

So your parked up, and already had 3 pints, that’s professional, not to worry, as Mr did I coy,will ■■■■ your tank dry while you sleep the beer off, so by the time you’ve had some fuel sent out you should be under the limit.

When I came across it normally I was on a 45 min break, but the one occasion I was scoped out when parked for a layup I dropped a line to the Plod, then popped the frisbee back in and headed up the road to the next bit. Wrote on the back why. - “gxxxxxxs” :laughing:

In the 80s my old man woke up freezing cold, night heater off in winter - they’d nicked his batteries :imp:

Thank you Mr Holier-than-thou, I considered the 13 hours off I was planning to have to be more tham adequate for 3 pints to be out of my system. I also thought that what I do in my down time was up to me as long as I’m fit and able to work in the morning. I’m sleeping in my cab, I’m not the night security man. Clearly I’m the criminal in this scenario :unamused:

Guess where I am :unamused:

I’ve heard that parking in Wickes car park itself is ok as long as you leave early. But people parking on the road outside and near the tyre place have had a their curtains slashed even when their doors are open. Dunstable used to be a nice place but it has gone downhill pretty fast.

Ignore that mate,you can do what you like in your own time,you’ll be okay.

We’ve got a WhatsApp group for all the drivers. Someone posted a pic earlier of a bloke that pulled up asking for 2l of diesel.

Pulled up in a £50,000 Range Rover :imp:

That’s at the top of Arenson Way near Superdrug. That’s a disgusting place to park now, litter and crap everywhere. As for that Range Rover it spends a lot of time hanging around Sainsburys [emoji6]
