The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Success on gas… maybe

June 8, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

gas truck

Spotted this truck yesterday morning while we were walking to the supermarket. We exchanged our tank for one of theirs (the thought of grilling steaks that very day was too exciting to pass up) and they promised to bring our tank back on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, when we got home and tried to connect their tank to our grill, the fittings didn’t match. Our tank has threads on the outside, their tank has threads on the inside.

We’re crossing our fingers that somehow they’ll fill up our tank and bring it back on Tuesday. If not, guess we’ll start hunting for an adapter… OR A CHARCOAL GRILL.
