Today, trying to do something nice for my brother, I filled up his truck's gas tank. I didn't realize until too late that it's a diesel. FML

Wow! That's gonna be expensive! It should have a sticker on or near the gas cap that says diesel fuel only!

Every vehicle I that have seen, driven, owned or have worked on states what type of fuel goes in it on the fuel door and/or gas cap. You just need to pay some attention to it when you go to put fuel in.

I have seen class 8 truck engines melt because of that. You gotta watch it with diesel because of not only that but most stations have two types one is illegal to use on the road because it does not have road tax and it has a coloring in it.

How did they melt when diesel burns hotter then gas and gas won't ignite from compression alone due to insufficient cetane rating? I've seen holes in side of blocks, heads blown off, rods in 3 pieces and split pistons but never a melted engine

I've driven diesels all my life and made the same mistake on my way to work at 3am. A good system flush without running it too far and you oughta be alright. May have to replace filters and possibly a pump, but unless you ran it far, you should be ok. If you get the tank drained before you drive far you may not have any problems at all as diesel is heavier than gas. So save for an empty tank or a lot of slosh you can go a short distance with very low gasoline uptake at all.

aah, I did the same thing. when I was 15 I took my brother's car for a joy ride and to cover it up I filled his tank with regular gas and ruined his car. I just came clean... 7 years later. ey ye ye.
