I now pump all my own diesel here in Oregon, no more chances, I run my own card and start filling as soon as I get to the pump. The attendants sometimes come running over, but once they see me pumping diesel they are ok and almost everyone remarks about the big filler hole. I bought a truck...

What I'm thinking is that mechanic #1 may have fried your glow plugs. It would have been hard to miss the smell of gas when the fuel filter gets bled. I don't think the gas is going to do any damage by itself, but by messing with the fuel system he has let in air in somewhere or by using ether...

I have added diesel to gas about 1 gal to 20 gas. Every attendant thought I was nuts. I did it to burn some of the carbon out of the combustion chamber, which an old timer said works. I thought I might have had a mileage increase. I was pulling a load in a truck I haven't driven since, so I'm...

You don't have to pump your own diesel, because most stations still do it, but I noticed that some stations have added a diesel pump off to the side that isn't serviced by the attendant so you pump your own. Oil companies have spent millions over the years trying to get the law changed, ballot...

If its hot and you don't want to get out of your ac luxury, or if you don't like winter weather you can lower your window 1/2 inch so you don't feel any arctic air to slide your card through or when you sniff your finger you don't smell anything like gas or diesel from pumping your own. The...

My M1009 is labeled diesel only, but the filler as you know is at the right rear, and if you stay in your truck, is much harder to see than the m1008, which is next to the drivers door. I told her diesel, handed her my card and after running my card, pulls out the gas nozzle. Luckily I got out...

I have almost gotten gas twice here recently. As I'm typing this I just realized most of the country pumps your own but here in Oregon that is against the law. An attendant must do the pumping. Sometimes I think they are brain dead from the fumes all day:cookoo: What is involved if this does...
