About six weeks ago Kathy and I went to Tractor Supply. On the way I stopped at the BP station for fuel. When I opened the fuel door a Yellow Jacket bit my thumb. I got be nice? and grabbed the gas nozzle and filled my truck. Twenty six gal of gas. I did not know what I had done. We drove about one mile and the motor stopped. We were towed to the nearest Diesel repair shop where they changed the fuel filter, pumped the tank and added five gallons of diesel, and charged me $120.00 plus towing. I got about one mile from his shop and the truck stopped again. I called the repair shop and they sent the repair truck to get me going and told me to stop at the first station and fill up with diesel, and I did. The tank only held twelve gallons more diesel which means that the mechanic left ninteen gallons of contaminated fuel in the tank after he pumped it. T he mechanic said not to worry, just keep filling it up when you drive it and it will all burn out and be fine. I drove home and it ran very rough. Two weeks later we went to town and it ran very rough then stopped. I called the mechanic and he came over and shot either through the air cleaner but it would just run rough and stop. Had it towed back to the shop and he called me two days later and said he had to replace the lift pump, fuel pump, injuction pump, fuel filter and purge the system. The bill was $2885.64. And to ice the cake, while my truck was being repaired some one stole my factory running boards. Some days a fella just cant win, much less break even.
