My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

[bearphoto]

My dumb stunt for today, too embarrassed really to say. Headed down the mountain today, to deal with the unfortunate situation of moving my mom into my brothers house due to medical issues, memory ect. So i stop in to the fueling station with my Dodge Diesel truck. Not paying attention to what i was doing, i grabbed the gasoline nozzle and "filled er up". As i hung up the gas nozzle with $90.00 of premium gas, i got this sick feeling. It was not because my head was up my a__ though, it was because i just filled up my dodge diesel with 27 some odd gallons of gas.

I moved the truck off the gas island and called the tow truck. The fuel pump was weak, which i kinda already knew and the dealership was unable to prime the pump, so replacing that, dropping the tank, flushing it out, haz mat expenses to dispose of 35 gallons of gas/diesel and a rental vehicle, my bill came to $1060.00. I get the dumbshit award of the day!

Anybody else having some bad days or month besides me?

I would of tried to get that diesel/gas back and dilute it down with some more gas (maybe) and run it in my car.

I went out and got a heavy ass tree on my own. So much potential, and it crossed my mind a few times.

Our new Brigade's Commander and Seargeant Major flew up from Fort Hood today to check out this stand-alone Squadron they agreed to support.

They walked up to the office door, where this supposed hot-shit Sergeant was running two mailrooms by himself, didn't need no help, yadda, yadda, yadda...




I was snoring like a f-ing chainsaw. ;D Happy Friday!

Re: My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

A couple years back I witnessed just the opposite while gassing up the work car at a 76. I saw this yuppie putz yapping on his phone while filling the tank on his Porsche. I notice the nozzle he's using his car is the green one, for diesel. I ask if he's using the right pump. He stops yapping and realizes this mistake. After several color metaphors of the four letter variety; he hangs up the phone and the nozzle.

"Is this bad?" He asks. I say yes, but it will be worse if you start the car. I suggest he call a tow truck and have his tank cleaned out or replaced. Don't start the car. Leave it be. Mr Brilliance doesn't take the advice and moves his car away from the pumps. In the 90 seconds it was running; the exhaust starting spewing milky white smoke.

"Is this bad?" he asks again. I say it is now. I'm betting he had to be sedated after getting that estimate from the Porsche dealer.

Re: My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

Got one better. Rented a 28 foot U-haul to move a pool. Fuelled up on the way home and bitched the whole way about how crappy it ran. As I way about to leave to return the truck I noticed it was gas not diesel. Siphoned out the side saddle tank as best I could, diluted it with more fuel and brought it back. Ran much better after that. I'm sure they went to an all gas fleet because too many dumb asses were putting regular in diesels. You know what they say about idiot proof. That day I was the better idiot.

Re: My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

Did the gas fuel up on my working diesel Vw van some years ago.It ran just fine..i had just filled some gallons of gas,when i noticed the blame.So i filled the rest with diesel,and it still runs...but not on the same tank with diesel ;).A freind with a Dodge Truck,did the same.It cost him his fuel pump.Dont know why.

Re: My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

as for the porsche.. I was under the impression that diesel nozzles were bigger than gas for that very reason...

as for Bear... if I was little richer I'd send you a Christmas gift early... around here it's called a siphon hose.. couple taht with five 5 gallon jugs and it's sill a lot cheaper than a $1000 bill.. ;D

Re: My dumb stunt for today, what was yours?

If i would have been closer to home i'd have done that but i was 50 miles away and had one of the dogs with me. So, it was a very stupid dumb ass move, but i can guarantee it wont happen again, at least until i get full on alzheimers. he he. I also could not remember (damn, i do have alzheimers) which is going to float to the top, the gas or the diesel? I assume (?) its the diesel due to the oil in the fuel.
