Hello all,

It's been a while since I have posted...thanks for looking.

I was driving the car and noticed that it needed some fuel. I pulled into a truck stop and fueled up. But after fueling, I noticed that the diesel fuel that I put in was for "off-road" vehicles only. Only later did I noticed that it was dyed red in color. (Please don't call the authorities, I can't afford the fine.)

I then drove the car 35 miles, played a four hour gig and then returned home about 3:00am.

The next morning (this past Sunday), I went to start the car and all it would do was crank and sputter...it would not start.

I cracked the fuel line from the lift pump to the large filter (that's when I noticed the fuel was red) cranked the engine, and it did pump, but no big spray.

I removed the large filter and emptied it, put it back on and cranked the engine again...still the sputtering.

The only clue that I have is that it made a strange noise when I first cranked it...not normal but no clunking...

I cranked it for another few minutes until the battery died...just a bit of sputtering...it never started...

Your thoughts would be appreciated....
