cinch314 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Ok here's what happened. On Friday I decide Im going to mow so I start mowing the yard. I run out of gas. I go to the front porch, take off the lid of the full "GAS" bucket, I smell it, it smells like gas. I then pour some into a clear plastic bottle, it is yellow like gas so Im thinking gas! I go fill up the lawnmower, it is completely empty. Then I go top off my 4 wheeler that has some gas in it. I start mowing again, it starts knocking really loud, so I kill it and get off. Come to find out it is not GAS but diesel! Needless to say, I got the lawn mower drained and running but I cant get my 4 wheeler drained so Im taking to a friend of mine to fix it, if he can stop laughing at me long enough. I have always known of diesel to be blue, green and red. I just cant believe that I did that, I mean, it looked like gas and smelled like gas. Boy was I mad. AND THEN! I ran over my phone with my truck but it still works though and that was on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Doh! Yeah gas engines don't like diesel very much. They will ping like a madman til they get some gasoline back through them. You're not the only one to do this mistake. I don't know how many customers we get with their vehicles towed in. Either diesel in their gas cars or gas in their diesel trucks.

Rhino Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Well if it makes you feel better, a friend of mine put gas in his diesel truck...twice. But he's and Indiana boy that decided to take up residence in Louisiana 30 years ago so confusion is the norm for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinch314 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 It was in a red container. The only thing I can think of was that I know that this container previously had gas in it so I think when I smelled of it, I was smelling the reminants of the previous gas.
