I have about 30 gallons of Dieselgas here after a driver filled a sprinter with RUG. The door says diesel, the gauge says diesel. The fuel card is a different color to indicate diesel. And the driver was told which station to use, but didn't.

Last summer I ended up with 50+ gallons of dieselgas. Driver put diesel into a Ford gas job. Brought back a vehicle with 20k miles and complained the engine and transmission both failed shortly after refueling. I actually drove it into the shop. I had to use brakeclean to get the engine running long enough to build heat in the chambers so the fuel mixture would burn. Talk about white smoke! And the summer before last I brought home 35+ gallons of dieselgas. That one was gas into a Ford 7.3 diesel. Twice.

Pumps in this area have a different size nozzle for diesel. Most of the time the diesel nozzle won't fit into the gas vehicle but we have cutaway chassis vehicles and the fuel filler has no restrictor installed.
