Come On Whos Done It?

[Just Rizzle]

bit of an expensive mistake I couldn't believe ive done it. when I rang the client to explain why I wouldn't be there to day to finish her wet room she said she understood my dilemma as she said she did it about 4 weeks ago and not to worry.
I ONLY PUT UNLEADED IN MY VAN £80 QUIDS WORTH.
£210 TO HAVE IT DRAINED OUT.
AND ANOTHER £80 TO REFILL.
THOUGHT I WAS FILLING THE CAR NOT THE VAN

Done it but many years ago, filled up with diesel in a petrol car, new a mechanic who explained get an old fairy bottle to feed the carb with petrol and disconnect the fuel pipe and point into an empty bucket...worked a treat.

Nearly done it loads. Always had petrols and then for a diesel. Luckily pump was always the other side so I'd then click in.

Unlucky pal.

I always wondered if I was dozy enough to do it... Yes I am! On a New Years Eve. Luckily realised after £27 of petrol had gone in to my van. And didn't drive it away.

Not yet! I have a diesel van and a petrol car, it's only a matter of time!

if you put petrol in a desile its not that bad depends on how much i once put £20 of petrol in by mistake then paid for that then filled the tank up with deisel on top never made a difrence a desile is much more forgiving .but the other way round you are f ck

 

[Dougs Third Go]

nope, but I'm pretty sure that at garage where I have my account the nozzles are different so you can't fill up with wrong fuel

I used to put 4 star (I think it was) in a bike designed for unleaded. Used to go like stink.

diesel nozzle is bigger so doesnt fit in petrol car.

[Dan]

What litre is the petrol?

 

[peteablard]

Did it a couple of months back, filled the wife's car with petrol. Wasted £80 in petrol, cost £180 to drain then another £95 to fill with diesel! Won't be making that mistake again!
