    Hello all,

    I have 2019 Dodge diesel dually truck. Twice already i made mistakes of putting unleaded in the truck. had to pay $1000s to get fixed.

    Is there any to prevent this from happening?

    Thanks,

    Pull your head out of your backside?

    Not trying to sound offensive, but once is stupidity and not paying attention. Twice is ... Unbelievable.

    Don't use pumps with a gas option even is the easiest way.

    Sadly, it's most likely not. In a lot of places, they have a pump with diesel buttons right beside gas. I know of several people that have put diesel into gas tanks as well as gas into diesel tanks.
