fueltruckNORTHWOOD, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota family got an unwelcome surprise when 191 gallons of fuel oil were delivered to their house by mistake.
 
     The oil was supposed to be delivered to a nearby house in Northwood. A bigger problem was that the family’s home had a pipe on the outside but no fuel tank on the inside. That meant the fuel oil was pumped Monday into the finished basement of the home of Chad and Ryndee Veer and their three children.
 
     Chad Veer says  he never expected such an accident because fuel isn’t delivered unless it’s ordered. He says the fuel supplier has helped by setting his family up with meals at a restaurant and providing other assistance. The family is staying in an apartment.
