Have you ever...
May 14^th, 2009 at 6:59pm

Misfueled...! Well today this Muppet did... Embarrassed

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...!

Shawn Ex Member	Re: Have you ever... Reply #1 - May 14^th, 2009 at 7:03pm 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.

Reply #8 - May 14^th, 2009 at 8:52pm 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! Jerry

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. Roll Eyes
