Bottom line it cost us $1056.00 to have the tank drained, bleed the injectors, and replace the fuel filters, and a rental car for the weekend. It could have been catastrophic if we had not took immediate action, and they gave us a military discount of $100.00 Thank you Lord, thank you Jesus, Amen.  :face palm: |
I did that once. Except I pretty much filled my diesel tank with gas and was ready to leave the gas station when I realized what happened. I had the truck towed to a dealership which was close fortunately and my brother-in-law came and towed the 5th wheel to his house where we stayed for a few days.
Pretty expensive fuel stop....! Now I triple check the hose and fuel selection button before pumping. Argh!!
