LOL no offense but your excuse was funny. The car is small so everything is in proportion?

In fact a common complaint about from some diesel car owners, is that the pump nozzles are too large like they are designed for trucks, and that the pumps are usually not undercover (eg when raining) at the service station.

that sucks! my father's old worthless girlfriend did this once to his 69 mustang. she came home wondering why it ran real rough and then died on her a couple blocks from the gas station! sad part is it wasnt one of those all in one pumps either, it was a stand alone diesel pump! that was a mess!!!!!!

That's what I thought....... cause I was really

Good luck with getting it drained out......shouldn't be too big a problem to get fixed.

If you make the mistake between diesel and gasoline, it is better to put diesel into a gasoline engine than it is to put gasoline into a diesel engine. Of the two stupid mistakes, you made the less stupid one.

Drain the tank, purge the fuel lines and fuel rail. Put in the proper gas. No need to completely "rinse" out all the diesel fuel. What little that might be left will be diluted enough that it will disappear without harm. It may take a bit of cranking to flush the injectors, but they too, will soon get gas in them and once the engine starts to run, the worst concentration of diesel will be gone.
