I wish, our pump that's strictly winter blended #2 got used several years back by a cart boy to "top off the tanks." The nozzle is sized the same as a gas nozzle, and the fool topped off nearly 30 golf carts with diesel. Nevermind that we don't have a single diesel golf cart on the property... That was a fun day of draining tanks, cleaning spark plugs and generally spending too much time looking up the arse-end of a club car.

Actually, since we rented the entire fleet...the most fun part was seeing how well they'd run on "dieseline" and how much damage running one with the choke engaged all the time did. Draining them and getting them back to ferrying our sept/octogenarian golfers around, that was secondary.
