I was on my way into Lindsey Oil Refinery at Killingholme.I had an "M" reg Mandator and 6600 gall tank and was going in for a load of white spirit.One of Caledonian Road Services passed me with Volvo F86 artic and cut me up.When I got to the loading point he was in front of me so I was going to have a "word".Good job I was only just getting out of my wagon as I would have been covered in white spirit as it came gushing out of his front compartment.He had selected 5000 litres on the meter but white spirit was still metered in galls - the last product to await conversion.There was a notice to this effect posted next to the pump on/off buttons.
You can't get 5000 galls into a 1100 gall pot!
Mind you ,he had a nice clean wagon.
