8/29/10 Have you ever pumped Gasoline into your Diesel truck tank. Was it at a BP?

Yes I have. Until I read the OP, I had not considered what brand of fuel it was, BUT the color was green so it MAY have been BP. It ruined my day, and cost me a grand by taking it to a dealer. I know now that I got ripped off, but I the time, I thought it was much more serious and might ruin the engine.

Guilty as charged.....I did it a few weeks ago for the first time!
And it was exactly for that reason at the BP the "gas" nozzles are green and the "Diesel" is black.

Never to date. That doesn't mean I won't have a Senior moment tomorrow and do it. :rolleyes5:

I hate BP for changing the cover color other than what everyone else is using so, i avoid buying my diesel from BP. In my area Racetrac has diesel available at every pump. And their prices are very competitive in the area. i try to support them as they have made a serious commitment to the diesel commun ity and I appreciate it. All of our road cars/trucks are diesel.

I did it at a Sunoco; filled it up and was putting the nozzle away before I noticed. I was really sick (before I did it) that night and probably shouldn't have been driving. Fortunately my wife was with me and she called for a tow truck who took the truck to a truck stop and us home. I was lucky that all this happened less that a mile from home.
