So what's you problem with the ad?

The ad is not that new, it's been around for at least a year.

Seems innocuous enough to me.

Who approved the current ad where a kid pulls into an AA Auto Centre and says he filled his boss's diesel ute with petrol

 

😂

 

 

 

I just laugh and the nonchalant way the guy replies don't worry mate, we can fix that.  The last work car we had someone put petrol in the diesel took the car off the road for 2 weeks and cost upwards of $5000 to fix.  Yeah, the add is a but ridiculous but it's an add right?  Hardly paragons of truth are they.     

@scuwp ' Ad ' :P

Run petrol through the high pressure diesel pump and you're up for that much in parts nowdays!

I managed to fill our petrol knockabout 4WD with diesel once! That was no drama at all. Got the suckymoto guy to come out and drain in, re-filled with petrol and it was just fine. But petrol in a diesel is a big bill.

what the above said.

petrol in diesel motor is deadly to the motor and your wallet.

I should have bought a Lotto ticket the time I did it... I filled my 2007 Ranger up to the brim with petrol one night and drove home around 2kms. I didn't notice a thing. Next morning I started it up and there was a huge cloud of white vapour pouring out the exhaust and it sounded a little sick. "Oh sh1t" I thought, but at that stage I hadn't connected the dots.

I immediately turned it off and called my mechanically minded brother over to help. He knew immediately what I'd done. We drained the fuel tank, disconnected fuel lines at strategic locations and drained the lines and fuel pump of any residual petrol. We changed the fuel filter, reconnected everything, filled it up with diesel, and I then drove gingerly around the block waiting for a bang that never came. I drove another 50,000km in it without incident. That was in 2011.

I sold it around 2013, but the guy who now owns it lives on my street. It has over 370,000kms on it now and my mistake appears to have had no impact. 

I realise I am incredibly lucky and I can't really explain how I managed to drive it home from the servo without damaging it. I suspect it had residual diesel in the bottom of the tank that was used on the drive home before it was mixed in with the petrol overnight. But still, I was very lucky to get away with it.
