 Put 20 pounds of petrol in my diesel van today and lost most todays work waiting on getting van back.  My mobile rang as i was about to fill up and i lifted the wrong nozzel and carried on talking and filling. What a plonker.

It has happened, at least one case in the US. Unlikely, as proved by Brainiacs, but does happen.
Not just phones but all transmitting equipment.
What sort of van was it?

i have done this twice. all i did was fill the rest up with diesal

[Frankybadboy]

should have just topped right up with diesal,then keep it top up.should get no problems.

£20 is only a cup full, should have stuck some diesel in afterwards.

Depends what he's driving. Old truck like mine, no problem I'd do just that. New van or truck with common-rail diesel, think damaged oxidation cat, sensors, possibly injectors, reprogramming, £££ etc.

I went to put the diesel into my wifes new mini a few weeks back... took me a few moments to figure out why it wouldnt go in to the filler hole. When i went in to pay the guy was creasing himself laughing. Says he's going to see what the video is like from security cameras as my face was a picture trying to figure out the problem.

Never told the wife
