At least it's easily traced to where it happened. Most likely it'd be petrol in the diesel tank or vice versa.

Apparently the tanker put Diesel into the Petrol tanks and a number of cars go caught before they realised what had happened. Not a good look for them

I always squirt a bit out of the pump onto the ground before filling up and smell it to see if its petrol.
Call me crazy but I wont get caught out like this.

Well I do and I haven't been caught out yet.
I'd say the people that got stung in Kylemore today are wishing they did.

I always just use a lighter to flash off whatever fuel residue is on the nozzle. You’ll know from the way it goes up whether it’s petrol or diesel.

I take an aul sip myself

I can taste the difference between "diesel" and "I can't believe it's not diesel" any day

I find the 98 RON petrol has a more tangy taste than the 95. Some stations were trying to charge more but I'm wise to them !! :mad:

i always carry a spare engine and fuel system for this very reason

I'm always afraid of putting ac instead of dc into the leaf when I'm charging.

A lot to be said for filling into multiple cans and siphoning into the tank when needed, you can have a good sniff beforehand :P

Funny that, I do tend to have spare engines for every daily driver I've had over the years... This includes the D4D I currently drive

Wouldn't mind having a spare D4EA though!

That's why I always jam a fork in the plug socket before I plug it in.

Probably the best advice one could ever give sure how else would you know there is any power.

I bet half these people went out of their way to get cheap fuel, wasting €2-3 in the process. Negating any savings...

Always wondered why the place is so cheap, is it an Ushers quay situation or more genuine than that?

Nothing dodgy going on.

Terrible thing to happen to people, but it has to be said that a photo of multiple card broken down at a petrol station is indistinguishable from a photo of multiple cars filling up at a petrol station.

I pulled in there for a fill yesterday evening. Luckily enough for me, it was after they’d blocked off all the pumps. Forecourt was full of cars and angry faces.

I wonder what Diseal looks like when you spray a sample onto the forecourt.
