Title: Have you ever... Post by Lefty on May 14th, 2009 at 6:59pm
Misfueled...! Well today this Muppet did... :-[
OK, I'm an idiot..! But in my defence I used the garage that we always use to fill the buses and people carriers we use for work and these vehicles are all 4 star unleaded.There I was whistling away with not a care in the world, until I noticed the green hose instead of black diesel. I had already put €40 in before I got that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that something wasn't right..! So I'm €40 down before i even get the bill from the garage, luckily enough though i didn't start the car.. There must be more idiots out there, i can't be the only one in Clusterville. Lefty...! |

I put a full tank of gas in my diesel last year. And drove it. Directly to the dealership. Cost me $800, and I was lucky at that.
Moral of the story, don't do that. |

I did that with unleaded in a diesel once. 85 gallon saddle tank. :-[ Fortunately we were able to siphon most of it out to where it would blend ok. It just tended to preignite until I burnt off the tank of fuel. The boss was not happy with me that day!

I think a large part of my $800 bill was the hazardous waste disposal fee for the gas they removed from my tank. California is SO AWESOME.

I thought that the nozzle was a larger size for deisel to prevent misfueling. Maybe it is a state to state thing.

But you can put the smaller nozzle into the larger hole. And no, I don't speak from experience, Chuck. |

Got it. I was thinking diesel into gas. That larger nozzel prevented me from misfueling once. Not all gas stations around here have diesel. Gotta pay attention. ::) |
