Gotta see their faces when they're realised what they've done, it's classic


I bet you sat there watching them as they filled up their cars with 50 litres of the wrong fuel without telling them


With 16 pumps I don't watch anyone, far too busy!

These people belong in a nut house along with them people who can't shit in a public toilet without soiling the walls.

Third time lucky and it cost her £230 to fill up idiot


It would have been fairer to have just shot her.

Used to get this all the time at vw.

If I ever got a diesel in with running problems or that wouldn't start, i'd just pop the fuel cap off and have a sniff.

They ALWAYS stank of petrol and were ALWAYS brimmed with the stuff.

Fuckwits

yeah I remember that.

Btw, so glad you're on. Been trying to phone you back since your last missed call.

Only just found out that Autosport is this weekend.

You still fancy it?

Ive done it before, drive so many different cars day to day, got used to a petrol motor for a few weeks then when i switched to diesel, stuck a fiver petrol in before realising! towed it back to work, drained the fuel and replaced the filter.

what i dont get is how people manage to put diesel in petrols.... the filler hole is too small to fit a diesel nozzle in.. yet they still manage
The new FSI VW's are an absolute pig to start when they have had diesel in them
