This is when vehicles had a label "Unleaded Gasoline Only". Attendant didn't speak English, saw the label and filled up the van with Gasolio(sp?). For those not fluent in Italian, gasolio == diesel. Made it out onto the street when the van started to sound like Jed Clampett's truck. Pumped out 30 gallons of contaminated fuel, refilled with gas, and took off. No damage done (at least none that I ever found out about). Green handle? Not back then... A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)
Post #270,373 by bluke 10/15/06 11:03:54 AM Reply	The pumps are different ... what happened is that I drive a gasoline powered car to work every day. I drive a lot so I fill up a few times a week. My wife drives the kids around with the diesel powered van. Last week I took some time off and we went on a long trip. I drove the van so when I pulled into the gas station on the way I just took the regular gas pump by rote.
