Tanker driver make big bobo

bet she wasn't his girlfriend after that!

 

Hi super, once, with my Western Star, after a rather long couple of days, grabbed a nozzle and started pumping. Put about 8 or 9 gallons in before I realized it was a gas pump. Put another 50 gallons of diesel on top of it, honestly, and never did notice any difference, except, I did go through a couple of fuel filters. I believe straight gas would melt the engine pretty quick.

Gas in a diesel engine can cause a whole mess of problems. Though since you diluted it enough I think your engine was alright.

 

I can tell you a mess Texaco had a few years back in Las Vegas when switching over to winter gas. They had their own storage tanks while the rest of us drew off a common carrier. Their drivers kept telling the plant manager the product did not look right and it was flowing way too slow. Of course the upper management did not take action for awhile and told them it was just a little water with the ethanol. Finally, the drivers all got together and made the company take a look. Their gasoline by this time was like a milk shake. Every underground storage tank in southern NV, northern AZ, and some in UT had to be pumped and steamed cleaned. It must of cost them millions. Now in any tank farm that has Texaco aboveground storage tanks you'll see a dome on top to let the rain water run off. Water can become a big problem if not monitored for.

They say you can get gasoline while a trucks is off loading but I wouldn't. There's filters just like a diesel engine in the pumps but they have to be changed to work properly. The tube that goes down into the underground tank is cut at an angle and empties above the bottom of the tank. If the station does not do all that amount of sales I would wait also.

 

Wonder if that had anything to do with Texaco being taken over by Chevron?

 

Pump it out and haul it back to the tank farm. We would just dump it into a tank that holds millions of gallons of diesel fuel

 

It was sold as hazardous waste. Too much water.

 

They will have to pump the out of spec product out and take it to a refinery.
