Default Just poured a gallon of oil into my bilge

I forgot to connect the hose to the filler neck when doing my resto. I noticed the sound of dripping from my transom drain, it was blue..

I immediately knew what had happened. At least it was cheap oil...

Yeah, everyone has made a mistake or two here or there. It sucked because I just went to town to buy the oil, come home and waste it.

At least I didn't leave the fuel hose off and re-fueled!
