> I used brake clean. I figured if it had brake fluid in it I should use that to get it out. I drained the oil, sprayed about 4 cans through it while turning the motor over at the crank bolt then drained it out and put more oil and about 2.5 quarts of lucas in it to thicken it up. > I did not change the filter because I thought it was new enough. Should I go back and change the filter? Do you think that is my problem? yeah ok ---

This story, however, I do NOT believe. Nobody is dumb enough to grab brake fluid and pour it into the engine. And then afterwards know enough about engines to be able to “turn it over manually” while spraying in Brake Cleaner. :tdown: to retarded fake epic BS ---

I had a remote control gas car with the blue alcohol gas…had it on the same shelf as where my old man kept his windshield washer fluid…well he grabbed the wrong bottle and started filling the windshield washer tank of my moms car. After it was half full did he finally realized it didn’t smell like windshield washer fluid. But i will say both bottles did look the same and there were both blue. ---

> [@Clean Baldy](#): > > Sadly, three cars from three different women came into Northtown Toyota when I worked there with this exact same issue. “Oh, I can’t use Deisel?” When I had the diesel jetta I’d always get weird looks pumping at the diesel pump. I was SO tempted to say “Oh yeah, you could put diesel in any car. It gives you better gas mileage.” ---

when I was working at this one shop we had a bunch of people that put diesel in gas vehicles and vice-versa. One woman put diesel in her husband’s 2 week old top of the line loaded silverado. She made a call to the husband from the service desk & we could all distinctly hear (from ~25 feet away) the guy on the other end screaming at her calling her a fucking retard for destroying his truck. All the guys in the place were shitting our pants laughing I don’t discount the LT1 story tho, there’s some awful stupid motherfuckers out there. I’m always meeting new ones ---

The nozzle itself is significantly larger than a gas pump nozzle… so that it **doesn’t fit** into the filler on the car. They must have really struggled to get the fuel to even get past the top of the filler tube. Unless they were doing it with fuel cans in the garage… but that isn’t likely because then they would know the difference between the 2 fuels. This response applies to everyone who has experienced this. I’ve certainly heard of people putting gas into a diesel vehicle, that is easy. But diesel into a gasser is very difficult.
