Oil delivery to wrong place - hypothetical question!

I've just stopped an oil delivery man filling my oil tank, he already had the pipe across the lawn ready to go when I saw him. He said that as he had delivered to me in the past he just assumed this was the right address.
As a matter of interest, what would have happened if I'd been out and he'd completed the delivery? Can they siphon it back out? Would I have to pay for it?
Just wondered really! Has this happened to anyone?

Thank you. I wonder what the outcome was. I can't really afford to buy any more oil, I normally only get 500l at a time anyway which lasts me ages, and am thinking of moving by the summer anyway. Unless they offered me a seriously silly deal, I'd want it taken away.0

They can't force you to pay for something you never ordered. If it's a mistake, it's up to them to correct it at their own expense.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0 -
Yes they can suck it back out of your tank.0

Hi that happened to us and they said they could get it out but offered us a good price on the oil they put in to save them taking it away. I caught them about halfway through the delivery, it's a shame I didn't leave it till the end lol.0
