I would have screamed "FALCON PUNCH" followed by "FALCON DIVORCE"
Putting diesel in a gasoline engine will cause predetonation. Diesel engines ignite their gas by compressing them to the point where they spontaneously combust, whereas a gasoline engine will compress and then ignite with a spark plug. Gasoline is designed NOT to spark on its own without a plug (and the higher the octane, the less likely it is to do so), so putting diesel in a gasoline engine would likely cause the engine's fuel to knock from spontaneous combustion when it's not supposed to. At best the car would run like crap, at worst, you'd bend rods, break seals, etc. As long as the car isn't started, you can drain the tank and refill it with gasoline, a little octane boost and some fuel line injector cleaner, and you'll be fine. If you started the car.. oh boy. Similarily, gasoline in a diesel engine could be catastrophic because the gasoline would likely not ignite from the compression (or would ignite at the wrong time), and then would get shot out into the exhaust system, and might ignite there because of its temperature, and blow the exhaust system apart. There's lots of other things that can go wrong like fouling up injectors, fouling up plugs, clogging filters, etc, too.
#26... nice explanation
The fact that diesel was cheaper isn't the point that sticks out to me. It's the fact the woman didn't know that diesel isn't supposed to go into a regular gas tank. Has she never pumped gas before?
Hahah that sucks...I bet the wife feels awful for feeding the stereotype that women know nothing about cars.
diesel is cheaper than gas in my country :/ and your wife FAILED in life
Keywords
Here in America, we have much larger nozzles for diesel gas, so that people like your wife cannot put diesel in their cars. The nozzle will not fit into the tank. Only cars with diesel engines have holes large enough to stick the diesel nozzle in.
Oh dear God. :( Strangely diesel is more expensive here in the UK.
