A new gas starex was filled with diesel, the engine was blown. It wont stop even they turn off the key already. The fuel station replace the whole vehicle. bec. the owner has big influence. It happen in southern Mindanao.

happened to my Dmax, at one point of time, it was filled with gas rather than diesel. buti konti lang at napansin agad...

hmm, i remember an Amazing Race season where their SUV got filled with diesel instead of gas; inidrain lang nila, filled up with gas, and they were on their way.

depende rin siguro sa particular engine involved? or baka me gas pa sa tank, kaya medyo nadilute ung diesel?

well i asked my uncle from germany, he works from mobil 1 before and currently from FUCHS germany maker of engine oil. i asked him this question. he ans. me the same. feeding daw a gas engine with a diesel gas der will be no problem execpt with a smoking car. but sooner this will normalize. napag aralan na raw yun. and he added that the mobil 1 motor oil is the best. kahit na nag work sya sa FUCHS

This happened to our company vehicle (STRADA) several years back.. and if i'm not mistaken-- also by a dumb caltex attendant.. filled up gas instead of diesel.

they had to drain it -- good thing the driver noticed and did not even attempt to start the engine-- hassle pa coz the manager was even planning on charging us for the full tank of gas mistakenly filled up by their attendant..

the car still runs fine. -- good thing the driver spotted it.

a little off topic but don't you just hate it when the attendants fill up the tank literally to the brim?!? the automatic cutoff system of the gas pump is there for a purpose.. i'm just waiting to hear about an accident because some attendant filled the gas to the brim..
