Put diesel in my Taco

PPL don't have to go to the stealer for draining diesel from gas tank, they can contact a reputible private shop who will do it for a LOT less.
In fact the less the stealer knows, the better off you might be.

 

I hate taking ppl to the dealer. As try to talk them out of it.but they're car,they're money

 

We had a guy pump 8 gals of unleaded in his truck, towed it back to yard and pumped tank. Drained fuel lines and changed filter.back on the road in 2hrs.the contaminated fuel got dump in a junker.which we had to "test" to see what happens.

 

Speaking of dealers, one local Honda dealer.husband charges 295 a hr.and ppl still go there..

 

Ugh, dealer hear, not husband.

 

Ohh so you are the inconsiderate drunk driver that puts other people at risk and put diesel in your truck.
I think that's called Karma.

 

He was a passenger not driving

 

But he was so drunk he forgot!

 

He did later say that he was the passenger not the driver. I will withhold all of my opinions about this story except this one fact. Diesel pumps do not fit in gas tanks. I have tried specifically with my Tacoma out of curiosity.

 

I'm calling bs... maybe someone else has already said it but... new member, 4 posts total as of 5/25 and starts off with a stupid question, followed by "I was drunk"... don't even bother with this guy.
Either a troll or a trainwreck and neither are worth your time.

 

Stinky diesel

 

Could be, but hypothetically speaking, it could happen, well actually it does happen daily to someone.
And this will be a good practice run on what to do. I mean after all, we are in the 3rd Gen forum
where anything that can theoretically happen to someone usually does?

 

I don't think you can roll coal in a Tacoma, a Hilux yes, but not a Taco.

 

Than you desever what you get

 

Found the Lifetime movie network watcher!

 

I do not recommend this but.... I have a fleet of small trucks/vans. over the years we've had employees put diesel in the gas tank. We just siphon out the best we can, fill it with gas and go on our way. We've never had a problem. But this is my experience. Yours might be different. I know if I put regular gas instead of premium in my BMW, it will throw a code and put the engine in to "limp home mode". All I had to do was let the car sit 1 minute, start it, code clears, drive VERY easy until I can fill it with premium. With these new trucks they may have some sort of sensor when the gas isn't "normal.

 

I believe that Diesel pumps in most places use the slightly larger pump that leaded fuel use to use. Back when there were still stations that sold leaded and unleaded gas the leaded nozzle would not fit into a car that used unleaded gas.

The TDI Jettas were actually designed so that many diesel nozzles at gas stations will not fit into their hole (A4 opening). That is why this exists https://www.amazon.com/TDI-Diesel-Fuel-Nozzle-Adapter/dp/B00696Y74O

 

Had a cousin that was killed by a drunk driver. My mother in laws twin sister was killed by a drunk driver. One of my best friends growing up was cut in half by a light pole in the passenger seat because of the drunk driver in the driver seat. I drove up on the accident 2 to 3 minutes after it happened before the cops got there and pulled him out. It didn't matter though he was already gone. The driver another friend only had cuts and abrasions. Hell of a start to a senior year. Did I and do I drink? yes But I never drink and drive or drink and shoot.

 

If the guy was drunk maybe he just thought he put diesel in the tank. I don't get the whole nozzle thing. It is larger than a gas nozzle. But I've seen many RVer's (motorhomes) accidentally put gas into their diesel tank. And I've seen them siphon it out and just fill back up with diesel, no issues. But again, do not try this!
