I got a phone call bright and early this morning from the Chevron down in Riggins, ID (Steve Crump). He explained that the ambulance crew last night had a double back to back to run. When the crew got back to Riggins, ID they always load with fuel and restock. At 1am things can get a bit foggy and confused. The driver loaded the nearly empty ambulance with gasoline. It's a 6.0L Ford Power Stroke Diesel. They left the ambulance at the fuel pump for the night. Told Steve that I'd be down in about an hour. I got myself together and hauled for Riggins, ID. The ambulance was still at the fuel pump. I pulled up and unrolled my new tow strap. Hitched up and towed the ambulance from the fuel pump to the side of the building.

I proceeded to siphon out the fuel from the filler neck to 5-gallon buckets and using Chevron station for disposing of the waste fuel. The Chevron station uses the fuel for there waste oil heater. Just an added bonus for them. Once we were done draining we then pushed the ambulance backward a few feet and turned it back towards the fuel pumps to fill it with fresh diesel fuel. Like I told Fred the driver that always grab the GREEN handle. 

 

I save the Riggins, Idaho Ambulance.
