Man Finds 35 Pounds of Marijuana in Car’s Gas Tank

By "Radical" Russ Belville on February 19, 2009

SANDY, Utah —  A man who brought his newly bought car in to see why the gas gauge always read half full got quite a surprise: a stash of marijuana hidden inside.

A mechanic in Sandy who took a look at the gas tank discovered about 35 pounds of pot, which Sandy police say is worth about $35,000. The packages of drugs were wrapped in plastic and could have been in the tank for several months.

The Nissan Armada had several different owners and was once a rental car. Police are trying to figure out who stashed the drugs in the tank. Police say the current owner is not a suspect.

So is this how they come up with those diesel strains I see in High Times?

I’m wondering how the 35 lbs of pot were wrapped, and if they were wrapped individually, I’m wondering if there isn’t a very mellow happy mechanic in Utah right now.

    This is another advantage to the informal repair deal I have with my buddy’s cousin, the shadetree mechanic.
