Ahh the smell of Diesel Fuel, it's like coffee in the morning!

My Car:

1982 300SD Turbo Diesel (231,500 miles!) RIP

1984 300SD Turbo Diesel Custom (235,500 mi on driveline.) - On Road!!

Very sad to confirm it is true.
I hope to never meet the creature again.

There is nothing stranger than real life.

I thought so too but certain details (the carpet catching fire, in particular) suggested maybe not. It's certainly a wild one. And yeah, diesel fillers usually don't fit in late-model cars, but I imagine filler nozzles get mixed and matched and if that happened in this case, the gas station will probably end up paying for the car.

What the story did sound like, to me, was somebody coming down off a rip-roaring cocaine or methamphetamine binge. If true, it's a damn sad story of somebody finally hitting rock bottom -- losing kids, husband, very nice BMW and probably most of her friends in one crazy tweak.

Gnarly.

There is a BP station near here that I fuel up at occasionally. Elsewhere in the country the covers over the pump nozzle are green. At this station, the gas nozzle covers are green & the diesel nozzle are black (like most of the GAS nozzles). I almost pumped gas into my car, but thanks to a watchful station attendant, I was advised the diesel nozzle was the black one. When asked why the gas nozzles were green, attendant says that BP mandates nozzle colors & that they can't change them out. Go figure...

i may be a cold hearted a$$#*!e, but it seems to me a good thing when stupid people manage to get themselves killed, in fact we should encourage them to do it.

hmm, those are the Euro standard colours, they standardised them here in the UK years ago...BP really aren't helping themselves there, especially since it's BP/Amoco really now....should know better!
(sorry, it just winds me up, O'Bama insisting on calling them 'British Petroleum' all the time, they havent been British or used that name for 8-10 years or so now.....as many US shareholders as Brit now lol and both less than 40%...)
