UPPER DARBY, Pa. (CBS) -- Firefighters in Delaware County had their hands full, trying to free a man's finger stuck in the gas tank of his car.

Eyewitness News was on the scene yesterday at the Upper Darby Wash and Lube on Chester Pike.

The man in the video reportedly told firefighters he thought someone put chocolate in his gas tank and he was trying to clean it out.

Firefighters first tried to free the finger using lubricants, but ended up sawing off the pipe that leads to the tank.

The man was taken to the hospital to eventually have the pipe removed.
