I’ve had ■■■■■■ ask for fuel before, but the other day took the biscuit.
I was in Cardiff gate services having a kip with my curtains closed when this ■■■■■ banged on my window till I got up to see what it was about. He said he was caught short of the yard and only needed a pint (yes one pint) of diesel to get back and he would buy me a breakfast if he could just syphon some. Told him I couldn’t spare any and hinted that it would be nice to get back to sleep, as I had infact, just been asleep.
■■■■■ moved on to the next lorry along glaring at me all the way.
He drives a blue rigid with a crane on the back in case he tries tapping you.
■■■■■■■ hate ■■■■■■.
What he meant to say was i’l leave ya a pint
I’m sure a pint of diesel is MUCH less than a breakfast 
Funny you say Cardiff services i was approached about a year ago there by a ■■■■■ wanting diesel but he was driving a transit van.
Aye he’ll say a pint, and by syphon, he means use a pump.
They put a pump in, no airbed pump mind, a boat bilge pump that’ll shift a gallon a second.
Then he ‘won’t hear’ you when you say stop, so he’ll end up with ■■■■ loads of diesel in just a few seconds.
Happened so many times to so many people.
Best advice, just don’t entertain them, no matter what, just… don’t.
Unless, your truck runs legally on red (cranes, some cherry pickers, generator trucks etc).
Then just say yes mate, cash up front. Let them have a bit of red in their tanks, will help get the ■■■■■ off the road.
Heh, I did actually offer him some red from the freezer tank to get him off my back, but he didn’t want it.

Then a quick phone call with reggie, 
So this is a common thing then, he didn’t just see me pull up and read mug tattooed across my forehead?
ive had one come up to me before on cardiff gate too …told him to do one but then couldnt get back to sleep thinking he might just help himself anyway also at J9 truckstop off M1
Squiddy:

Nah, happens regular.
As above, a breakfast costs more than the diesel they’re asking for. So if they have the money for the breakfast, why not buy the diesel from the pump■■?

But you wouldn’t get much of a breakfast with the £1. 50 he’d give you after
emptying your tank.
Tell 'em to ■■■■ off.
As in another thread on the same topic, one of ours on here gave a ■■■■■ a load of AdBlue instead.

…and I think he made sure it went in his diesel tank, Result!!

…and report them to that handily available vosa car parked up for a break that “some ■■■■■ tried to sell you some red diesel from his tank” and if said vosa doesn’t appear to give a toss you could always add “He had some legs sticking out from a roll of carpet on the back of his motor…”
That’ll get him to put the diddy donuts down!

Maybe he got rid of the transit van after this…
