Not the brightest bulbs in the universe.

LoL! They travel in pairs now.
Why is a construction company using off-road diesel?
Maybe they were Mennonites ????
Gasoline is often thought of as being a single chemical, but it's actually a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that generally have 4 to 12 carbon atoms in their molecules....
Diesel fuel is a light oil that is heavier than gasoline, composed of hydrocarbons generally having between 10 and 20 carbon atoms in their molecules ...
What happens when you use gasoline in a diesel engine? Either something expensive or something very expensive. Since gasoline is designed to be resistant to self-ignition, gasoline in a diesel engine either won't ignite or will ignite at the wrong time. Some diesel engines run leaner than gasoline engines (meaning that the air-fuel mix has a higher proportion of air than a gasoline engine). That increases the chances that the gasoline won't ignite and that unburnt fuel will be sent into the hot exhaust system--where, ironically, it could ignite, leading to possible exhaust damage. Even if you avoid that disaster, you can expect to pay $500 to drain the fuel tank, clean out the fuel lines, and refill the tank with diesel.
Trying to use diesel fuel in a gasoline engine also has unpleasant consequences, but generally not as dire in terms of damage to the fuel system. Depending on the proportion of diesel fuel relative to gas in the tank, a gasoline engine will either run poorly or stop altogether, necessitating another $500 trip to the repair shop for draining and flushing. A couple of old grease monkeys at the shop I used to work at claimed that their "super high-compression" gasoline engines of the late 1960s could easily switch between gasoline and diesel fuel with no problems, but I tend to think they spent too much time inhaling fumes from the carburetor cleaning tank.

I’ve heard of that but never actually seen it.
We delivered to plenty of farms and it was always the same diesel everyone else got - just without the taxes. Only thing I can remember about the color was that Texaco had the most beautiful honey colored diesel you’ve ever seen. Tosco and ARCO always had muddy looking diesel – and they could have been doing fuel swaps because one then the other were running out at that time.
Just D'oh!
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
I love the smell of parts cleaning solvent in the morning.
Well, a kid I knew stole a motorcycle, and then siphoned diesel out of the diesel VW sitting out front.
He couldn't understand why the motorcycle wouldn't run.
Well.. I didn't bother telling him that with a tank full of diesel, a gasoline engine won't run.
Hey, as a guy who likes to bathe in diesel I resent that smell remark. Ok, so I stink a little, but I still resent it!
Last year in Indiana we had some idiots steal a Mercedes diesel and then put gasoline in the tank. There weren't too smart either.
Smells a little like just deserts.
I thought "Dajuan" was a mustard
