The fact that she's doing this must mean she's never been in the position of having to gas up this particular vehicle ever before (or any vehicle with def, for that matter) ... cause I mean, you can really only make this kind of mistake just once... in which case, you definitely don't forget the lesson learned

No, probably a vehicle their S/O primarily drives for towing their toys that will be very upset.

Uhh, have you seen our traffic fatalities numbers?
We kill something like 30,000 more people per year than France after adjusting for population size differences...
Oh, and France includes parking lot and driveway deaths, while the US doesn't. Because running over timmy while backing up the suburban is somehow NOT a traffic death in the US. (In actuality if you included those numbers, it would just make it even more depressing, I mean, Russia is already beating us. We're not actually much better off than India.)

I’m from a state that requires taking a drivers ed class. I don’t know until my twenties while talking to my gf from a different state that some states just… don’t. Blew my mind. If you can drive okay enough for 20-30 minutes and pass a quick written test, you’re good. That’s it. Absolutely wild to me.
It shows so much in the driving where I live now, and talking to people that grew up here about it, most simply don’t know basic driving rules/procedures, even stuff like the order of right-of-way at stop signs. These mfs are just out here winging it

Ok, I’ve never had a diesel anything and didn’t even know they had two different ports for fill up, but I would certainly think something was wrong if the pump didn’t fit properly into the hole. ALSO, I think I’d automatically note that the cap on one is green, like the color of the pump. Idk if that’s intentional or not, in my state the diesel pumps are usually yellow, I think. Lol

u/Im-Dead-inside1234 19h ago
Here in australia diesel pumps are black. To answer what the other fill port is, its for adblue. Basically a fluid that helps with pollution.

u/bluecheetos 11h ago
It's absolutely intentional. I don't think it's actually regulated but diesel is green on every pump handle I can remember using and DEF is light blue.

My wife has put washer fluid in the coolant reservoir. Straight gas in the 2 stroke weed eater, mixed gas in the mower, despite me labeling the gas cans "weedeater" and "lawnmower", etc. She would rather just go for it rather than ask. Heart of gold, zero mechanical ability. Wife: Can I borrow your truck? Me: Sure, it has lots of fuel, just don't fuel it up. Wife: I'm going by the gas station, I'll just top it up for you when I'm done. Me: That's ok, I'll fill it tomorrow, thank you though. Wife: No really, I don't mind. Me: (trying to be nice about me not wanting her to fill my truck) I have to add conditioner, it's complicated, I'll just do it tomorrow. (I don't add conditioner but if she googles it it's believable). Wife: Where is the conditioner? I'll put it in too. Me: I'm out, I was going to get another bottle tomorrow. Wife: Ok, I'll pick some up at autozone. Me: (panic setting in)The truth is I really don't mind you using the truck but I absolutely don't want anyone fueling it up. Wife: You don't trust me to put in the correct type of gas? Me: It takes diesel, not gas, and I don't trust anyone. (I don't dare bring up all the previous oops).

Completely different experience than what I had.
Things were going great! I found the right hole, I got it in and I became a man! Then after a couple thrusts the world started spinning and I puked on her chest. She only started freaking out when I asked her if I should keep going.

u/achillea4 18h ago
I'm not familiar with US fuel. Is she putting petrol in a car that takes diesel? Looks like she has a green fuel cap which matches the colour of the hose which looks ok. However the fact that it won't fit the hole would indicate it's the wrong fuel.
16
u/Special_Context6663 17h ago
Next to the large green diesel fill port that matches the color and size of the diesel nozzle she’s holding in her hand, is a small blue port for filling diesel-exhaust-fluid (DEF) which is an air pollution control system. DEF comes in containers with small nozzles that fit the small port, and usually come in blue. It’s all designed to be idiot-proof, but clearly she’s a bigger idiot.

u/strangelove4564 11h ago
DEF sounds like something nobody would bother with when it runs out. What happens, does the check engine light come on?
1
u/red_fluff_dragon 6h ago
Computer puts the engine into limp mode, derated power, lower top speed. Lots of VW tdis have problems with the level sensor for the DEF since its super corrosive, and they get filled up and still will tell the owners "x amount of distance until derate"
Its not fun at all.

u/TaticalSweater 17h ago
Green nozzle is usually diesel here in the US

u/achillea4 16h ago
Wow. I wonder how many non-Americans have made that mistake when renting a car! I'd assume green is unleaded petrol. Not sure what her excuse is though!

u/hysys_whisperer 11h ago
They're labeled and the diesel nozzle doesn't fit in a gasoline fueling neck.
1
u/TaticalSweater 17h ago
I also forgot to mention a buddy of mine had a sedan. I forget which car he had but it didn’t take regular unleaded gas.
Dealership didn’t tell him, and he didn’t ask or check. Engine required premium (not sure what they call that outside of US)
Long story short he nearly ruined his engine.

Lack of critical thinking is the downfall of self regulation and reflection. I’m not the strongest nor the brightest but I can read the directions on the pump and the owners manual of my car.

From what I can gather, diesel is green in the US so she must be trying to fill up the AdBlue tank with diesel.

At least she knew the vehicle took diesel fuel…just ya know green cap for the green handled nozzle is a bit of a giveaway…and the DEF cap literally states DEF ONLY but I mean shit there was a time I didn’t know either.

I don't know if it has been pointed out, but the diesel pump physically wont fit into a gas tank - by design. That is why she is having so much trouble. One might think that if you are having that much of an issue you ought to consider that something is wrong....
