a funny thing happened to me this evening
I went to the Servo to get some diesel for my car.... another 4wd pulls in front of me first - oh well........
nice looking Landcruiser 100 Series - Diesel Kakadu (what I wanted, but brought the V8pertol) Gold colour
nice...........

he then starts to put in unleaded.........
WTF????????
I wind down my window, "oiy mate"
he sticks his fingers up at me and says "beat you to the pump, hahahahahaha"
"yeah, no worries mate............"
so I wait...........
he finishes, goes and pays, gins around with seatbelt, radio, drink etc...... to annoy me.......
finally, he moves off.....
I move up, get out, start to put diesel in my car - before I do, I notice he has put $35.00 of unleaded into his Diesel Cruiser........
he swings around, and leans out his window "what did you want......?"

"oh nothing, just wanted to say I have a Black one of them at home.... but a petrol one...."
hoping the penny drops.............

"then why you driving that Patrol" says he...........

"because I can...have a nice night mate............bye..........."

Gold ! You should have told him he put petrol in it just to see the reaction on his face . :lol:

I love it when the hardships and trials of this life are sporadically punctuated with the little things that even up the score and whilst they don't really matter to anyone else, they sure as hell make me feel good to see the tossers of this world get their just desserts. love it.

How long before his tug dies on the side of the road??

Witnessed the same occurrence myself a couple of months ago. BMW M5 went up the road apparently and guy came back all yelling like all get out into the cashier.

Flashes his receipt for proof of purchase (all this mind you with about 4 of us in line to pay for our fuel), poor attendant getting the brunt of it, whom kindly offers him the paperwork to start a claim and assistance for towing.

I started a conversation with the man to settled him down in front of all the on lookers, from where he shows me the receipt and states ''No drama, I got them by the balls now they got to give my misses a loan car too'', I studied the receipt and it stated petrol, the BMW is a diesel which I brought this attention.

I paid for my fuel and said mate, your misses is going to have you by the balls now, he dropped his chin to his chest and acknowledged his error...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Pace.

Yeah one of the young bucks at work did the same thing with the work utes. Put petrol in, the boss was not happy.

 

[gspy4u]

alls fine as long as they don't start it.

Same thing happened a few weeks back, pulled up to a servo with a tow truck sitting behind this new Disco. Noticed the car was a little too far forward for the diesel pump but in line with the petrol one. Turned to the miss's and said "silly buggers put petrol in it".
Yep, he sure did. Problem was, with the electronic gear selection, hand brake whatever, they couldn't get it onto the tow truck as it was locked in gear. So poor bugger was on the phone as was the tow truck guy. The wife, 2 daughters and 1 son were sitting on the curb nearby all on the phone or texting looking oh so pleased with him. Feel sorry for him.

Have to say this always worries me in that my car is diesel and the wife is petrol so i am always very careful if filling up the other... Got to say they make the unleaded a different size, so why can't something be done to prevent the same for diesel. especially seeing as they are getting more and more popular.

I know on the Patrol Fuel filler flap, there is a kickar$e big sticker that says "DIESEL ONLY"

and on SWMBO's Cruiser, there is a kickar$e big sticker that says "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY"

How long before his tug dies on the side of the road??

depends on how much fuel he already had in his tank
the main tank on them is 90L and the Aux is 50L

if he was filling his Aux up, he will not notice untill he flicks it over........ and it will just start to rev and rev and rev and REV untill it goes BANG

if he was just topping up the main tank - it would mix with the diesel (not very well mind you), and he would still have it starting to rev its head off........
he may be lucky and it wont stuff his engine..... of he may not.....

 

[bigcol]

at the Mine Site I used to work at, the land owners usually poped in for fuel if they were near by
we would just fill them up......
unfortunately, our Unleaded was in 44Gal drums (205L) so it was hand pump
the diesel was better, as we had 2 x 1.5Million Liter tanks to draw from.

one day, one of the OHS managers was lucky to have to fill one of their cars up.......
pity it was a petrol 4x4 - and he filled it with diesel.........
got about 100m away from the tank when it just went "Petouie" and spat its lollie.
no damage, but had to dran the 2 tanks he filled, and gave the LV mechs more work on cleaning the lines.....

took about 4 hours to fix.......

My mate's Sunday to Thursday wife ( very long story as he also has a Thursday to Sunday one too ) back in UK ended up on the evening news after filling their petrol Lada with diesel .She got as far as Bolton High Street and blocked the lot for hours. The car , if you can actually call a Lada a car, stopped in traffic and a tow truck couldn't get through. Her name is Dawn and Mick still calls her Dawn the Diesel Dope or DDD for short That was over 25 years ago, so I am not surprised that she can only stand him for a few days a week, instead of a full time life partner.

Odd situation. One wife is a stretch at times, who actually wants two regardless of the obvious horizontal side benefits?

I've never actually noticed that. Better go have a look.
But I always panic when I get a loan car and need to replace the fuel, as some of those little diesels don't sound like my beast.

 

[mbr37746]

ahh Karma, it's pronounced, "Bahahahaha, %&$# You!"
That's a great story, but then I'm one of those people that laugh at other peoples misfortune. Funniest home video's and you tube fail compilations are what gets me giggling.
