    Driving home from work with a 4 hour drive ahead of me I stopped to fill up my gas and get back on the road... A few Miles down the road I here a cracking grinding sound and lose all acceleration. The track off light came on and something else. I pulled over and turned the truck off and restarted it again. I could only get to about 10mph before it starts to grinding and cranking again. I pulled over again and called roadside assistance. Got off the call and tried to start the truck up again because you know its 92 degrees here at night lol and it struggles and then wont start.

    Any ideas?

    Not saying this was it but it sure sounds like it could be. I've heard of this happening before, the station should cover any costs if something was damaged but it might be a headache. Hopefully nothing got damaged though.

    Yea I've seen diesel in Petrol stations, it causes mass havok for their customers.

    Only way I usually tell is take a sample from the fuel line and smell it/feel it/light it on fire.

    Usually the repairs (if diesel) is plugs x6, fuel flush, tank flush, oil change. Gas station gets to soak it up.

    70 DAMNED LITERS FOR 40$!?! ARRRRRRRRGH

    Well... he might be thinking of selling something... or perhaps needs to buy something?
    OP, hope it’s a quick and painless fix. Nothing like that roadside mambo.

    How many miles do you have on it? Possibly a CPS issue?

    Take the gas cap off and smell the filler neck. 18 gallons of diesel will over ride the gas smell.

    Ask the driver if they just got a lot of calls for tows in the area. If they did get diesel in the unleaded tank there are going to be a lot of stranded cars with 20 miles, depending on how busy that station is.
