Maybe duct tape doesn't fix everything.

Officials in southern Montana say a Canadian truck driver found that out the hard way when he tried to stop a fuel tank leak with the all-purpose tape before going to sleep at a truck stop near Livingston.

The Livingston Enterprise reports a truck stop employee called Park County firefighters at about 3 a.m. Thursday to report the leak. Fire Chief Dann Babcox estimates about 100 gallons of diesel fuel leaked from the tractor-trailer onto the ground.

The truck driver works for a company based in Saskatchewan. He says he thought he might have hit something on Interstate 90, but when he stopped at the time, he didn't notice any damage.



What have you tried to fix with Duct tape and did it work?

*sigh* it fixes everything, you just have to know how to use it! The moron probably just put tape over the hole. He needed to squish some of it up, then shove it in the hole and tape over that probably about 20 times... in all directions. Then take 2 huge strips and wrap in opposite directions the whole way around the tape. It's the idiots fault... not the duct tapes..
