Yeahbut I had a basically empty tank (rotten seller) and would have had a full full tank of gasoline 450 miles from home.
As it was the entire exhaust system fell off 5 minutes later... -Curt Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:49:16 -0800 From: Jim Cathey <[email protected]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fuel Monkeys Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > "Diesel fuel". "Gasoline!" I haven't noticed anything this blatant in Oregon, which also legislates that you be 'helped' by 'trained' personnel. (Personally I think that the training, if there is indeed any, consists of knowing where the fuel cutoff switch is, and the spill cleanup kit.) I think I've actually fueled my own diesels a few times in OR, I seem to remember that one of the attendants told me that the law only applied to gasoline, though most places treat them the same. Of course, the untrained personnel (not to name anybody I might or might not be married to) also can make this mistake... Rest assured that your older MB engines will survive the experience, though they won't be happy about it. Those inline Bosch pumps are quite hardy. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
