Bank Holiday Bah

So I finally convince SWBO that we should go to Grimesthorpe Castle in the van rather than her car and given its prodigious thirst decided to fill up. Quarter of a mile later loads of smoke and its splutters to a stop. The smoke smelt a bit suss which was confirmed by the fuel receipt , I had put in £40 of diesel. Woe thrice woe. I was soon surrounded by experts. I rigged up a gravity feed from a 5 litre can and limped to the garage where I work and spent the rest of a sunny bank holiday sweating and cursing.

 

Hard luck fella - you got it sorted now and any lasting damage?

 

Mpg..?

 

Thank ee kindly. No damage just pride and the constant look of dismain from she who would rather have a Hymer

 

10 gallons to the mile ish

 

God bless you, hope uget sorted

 

I know that next year how we shall laff about it!!

 

My sympathies ,fella ,yup, done that twice ,once a work van ,once my own car .(post it note .....)

 

american vans (well mine) have a very small filler hole that a diesel nozzle won't fit

Wish I could get 10 mpg !

 

Don't use deeeesle​

 

I am a member of I would rather have a Hymer other half club...

 

I've done that but the other way round put petrol in the diesel car as we swapped vehicles last minute and I'd still got the bay in my head. Then broke the bay towing the the car back home. Not a good day.

 

she can have an operation to get that restored...... all like new for the wedding.
