I used to thing the same thing Tombie....


... until one day after a 4:30am start, a day working in Sydney and a late return flight I found myself at the local BP just after midnight.

Standing in zombie land filling away.... pump clicked off and I looked down and though " why the hell is that handle green "....

Lucky for me, I'd just put 60 litres into the long range tank and not the main tank.. so filled the main tank with Diesel and next day drained out a 100 litre cocktail ... what a waste

You are right, it is attention to detail, but sometimes **** happens..

Glad my lesson turned out to be a lot cheaper than it could have been......

I remember talking to a guy at the LR dealer in Adelaide when the D3 was only a few weeks out on the market.

He was forking over $20k for a new engine and fuel system on his 2 week old D3 TDV6 after his wife fuelled up and then drove (or at least attempted to drive) home...

OUCH

My little close call has certainly made me more attentive....no matter how tired I am.
