So a local grocery with gas pumps accidentally put diesel in one of the regular pumps. The news said it was about an hour before they figured out the error and several people had filled up. I'm guessing the error was discovered due to disabled cars stacking up outside the filling area.
How far would you get with diesel in a regular engine?? |

The opposite is much worse. Gas into a diesel motor is pretty much a complete rebuild and R&R of the fuel tank forward. Happens about once a year to the ambulance companies. Brand new baby EMT's putting gas in the diesel tanks... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You see privates do that all the time in the Army too. It's extra sad because the gas is only really for lawn mowers and is stored in different cans... |
