It's gods way of telling you that you made a stupid mistake and bought something that runs on chip lard.

I didn't, i got the chip lard mobile for free, i bought something that runs on leaded 4-Star @ 16 - 20mpg the chip lard mobile offsets the cost

I hardly think he was being serious, but you can't even set light to diesel with a match very easily, let alone a spark.

You what? Diesel smells awful, sure you don't mean petrol?

AngryDave · 28 Dec 2007 at 22:02

nope, mean diesel. Im a farmer and deal with red diesel all the time so u get use to it. petrol smells awful if u ask me.

Because old people and women don't know how to use the nozzles.

Fact.

i've learnt to leave the pump in the hole for a little bit longer to get those last drips out.

Yeah. I prefer the smell of diesel too, but not because I'm a farmer, because I'm not one, just prefer the smell over petrol is all...but don't like it on my hands, doesn't leave.

I've seen a truck ignite due to some minor electrical spark whilst at an HGV "Bunkering" fuel site,scared the crap out of me! :eek:

POutting 350+ Litres in a truck every day is a real royal pain in the rear, not only do you have to put up with slimey Diesel all over the pump handle, you also have trailer grease everywhere!

I look like I've been down t' Pit after juicing my truck up

Petrol fumes make me urge.

People do it with Petrol too, just petrol evaporates.

thecremeegg · 29 Dec 2007 at 19:25

its because diesel is sticky unlike petrol, and it doesnt evaporate anywhere near as fast. petrol evaporates almost straight away so you dont get any left behind

i saw a guy filling up a fiesta diesel today. the reason i noticed him was that he was wearing gloves and holding the nozzle with tissues too lol

he then had to get more tissue to clean up the diesel spilt down the side of the car and on the floor.

i think that proves that diesel drivers are moronic. he knew it was messy but still pulled out the nozzle with diesel running out of it

Muffin` · 29 Dec 2007 at 20:24

I've never had a messy handle, or it run down my car, so they must all be complete morons.
