UDF Fuel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when UDF Fuel usually hummed with traffic, an old pickup truck pulled in. Its headlights cast eerie shadows on the pumps as the lone attendant locked up for the night. The truck’s owner, a regular named Joe, stepped out and approached the counter, only to find it empty. Joe peered around, then noticed a note on the cash register: ‘Out back, Joe!’ Curious, he walked through the staff door and found the attendant, Phil, polishing his glasses with a rag. Phil grinned sheepishly and said, “I thought you’d be here later.” Joe shook his head and replied, “Next time, Phil, just leave the keys under the mat!”

2. At closing time one night, a voice crackled over UDF Fuel’s intercom: ‘Last chance for gas—before the pump turns into a slot machine!’ A delivery driver, grumbling about his luck, decided to give it one more try. The nozzle clicked, and he sighed with relief. Suddenly, the voice returned: 'Next up: roulette! Better fill ’er up!' Everyone laughed as the pumps started spinning like miniature carnival games.

3. At dawn, when UDF Fuel was quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of soup, each labeled with handwritten notes in different languages. Curious, he opened one can—pea soup, warm and steaming. Suddenly, from behind the building, an old man appeared, waving gratefully. ‘Ah,’ said the neighbor, smiling, ‘you’re finally here!’ Turns out, it was just a local’s creative way of saying, “Soup’s on!”

4. At midnight, when UDF Fuel was deserted but for a lone gas pump attendant, a familiar voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, can you fill up my car with stars?' The gas jockey turned around, and there stood an old man wearing a tattered hat and coat. ‘Stars?’ he laughed. ‘I meant diesel, old timer!’ The two shared a hearty laugh as the night grew quiet again—just another late-night tale from UDF Fuel.
