Sandy-m2 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well i'v just put diesel in the supra, i've had the worst day. Well i'm off sick as i've got a pounding headache and hi temp. The power comapny showed up today to cut me off (lucky i'm ill) cos my Gf, who is away traveling, never paid the bills( its her flat) So go to the bank to transfer some funds around and on the way back stop cos i'm out of fuel not paying attention see some green on the first pump out of three - the one that is normall petrol - but no. so the car is now in some random garge to get drained and filter change and stuff. why is life so complicated.

Sandy-m2 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I couldn't remember which one was worse till i spoke to my mechanic. the petrol doesn't have enough lubricant or something for a diesel engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDino Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'd seriously consider shafting your Girlfriends best mate for not paying the bills. After you are feeling better of course, no point shafting her when your not running on all cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 This has happened to loads of people putting diesel in their petrol cars at BP stations. I put it down to very poor labelling and colour coding. The ultimate stuff can get confusing if its diesel or petrol!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I did the same thing at a BP station. It was poorly lit and I didn't notice the tiny "diesel" writing next to the huge "ULTIMATE" lettering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 exactly, 3 pumps, one normally diesel, 2 petrol, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i should take them to court for my stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
