One of my mates recently bought an Audi A6 3.0L V6 diesel. Driving home from work last week he stopped to fill up. As he was about to fill up his office phoned him on his mobile distracting him somewhat. As he put the fuel nozzle back in the holder he realised in dismay that he had just filled up with £70 worth of unleaded petrol!! :o It cost him £170.00 to call someone out to pump out the fuel, another £70 to fill up with diesel and 2 hours wasted time. At £310.00 that was a damn expensive fill up.......don't think he'll do it again!! ::)
Errr, mobile? On a forecourt?  :o :o :o

Pah - now some people really get dangerous on a forecourt - they use starting motors to start their car!

Using wrong fuel I just can't understand  :-/

Now running out of fuel, like Jim did the other day, that I can understand.  I'm always doing it ;D.  Now I'm guessing that mabny people can't see how I can run out...  :-/

Light on = fill up, dont see a problem?  :-/

Light on = how far can i go before it starts coughing  :D :D :D

expensive curiosity ;D :y

What amazes me is a couple of petrol station cashiers round here who say "you know that's LPG?".

Don't they teach these people anything about the product they are selling?

How exactly do you accidentally fill up with LPG? :o
