You know...My wife had a VW diesel. Best car I ever drove. I burried the speedo on that thing several times.
After we picked it up, I got out of the car with her at the first filling and pointed my finger tapping her head. THIS THING GETS FILLED WITH DIESEL. Repeat after me! THIS THING GETS FILLED WITH DIESEL!!
She never made a mistake. Even with my 03 dodge 3500 diesel.
I've been driving diesels for 10 years.When I take my car to the dealer for repair or for a "free" oil change I always ask for a diesel loaner.I used to get one occasionally but no longer. They tell me they don't loan out diesels any more because people were putting gas in them.
Whenever I let family or friends drive my car I very firmly state that they're not to fill it up...even if they do so out of gratitude.I always make sure the tank is full or close to full before they drive off.
I know a couple of idiots who had to drive a company flatbed truck to pick up a large repaired item.
On the way to FL from SC, they stopped at a station to gas up. They topped off the wrong fuel. Somehow they got gas and diesel backwards somehow.
