baileys_1984:
:D petrol 84.9 tesco but still getting our gas for 35.9 in corby  :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
Petrol/diesel mix is apparently very good in a space heater.  One of my mates was always having to rescue company cars that had suffered that fate and as a favour to them he didn't charge for disposing of the contaminated fuel.  Guess what his heater ran on :wink:

muddyjames:
I dont know why it wasnt made standard from day 1 that petrol cars had say a triangular filler neck and pump nozzle and diesel cars had round ones so that each nozzle couldnt be put into the wrong cars.

Only an idea  :wink:

Sooty:
You can't put diesel into a modern petrol car as the nozzle won't go in but you can put petrol into a 1 week old company diesel as I found out to my cost when I took delivery of a one a couple of years ago.
Thankfully I realized before I drove it so I pushed it off the pump, rang my neighbour to fetch me, put the car trailer on the back of the Disco and went and winched the company car onto the trailer.
Brought it home, drained the tank and then took it to the garage on the trailer and filled it with diesel.
Never told the company.
My next mistake was to but the contaminated petrol in my Disco :roll: (tight git or what)
Three sets of 8 plugs later the dam thing ran ok again :oops:  :oops:

thank god that gas connections are different thats all i can say  :oops:  :oops:

but you would think garages could do more ? to make matters worse was the fact that the filler for the petrol had a black promotion sticker on it so at a glance it looked like a diesel pump :x  :x
