Diesel Fuel In The Gas Tank

[Wally]

Pretty easy to do on some of the trucks that have a fill hole 3 inches in diameter.

Don't tell @IndecisiOn

He drove back with another driver? How did they get the truck back?

Tow truck had to come get it. Another driver came to get him. We have a small building about an hour away where that truck is based.
We don’t have mechanics UPS has to hire out

He didn't wait on the tow truck? I've never been able to just leave a broken down UPS vehicle unattended. Always had to wait and ride back in the tow truck.

It's ok, he left the keys in the ignition.

I wish I could spray diesel fuel on @Wally's lawn.

So yesterday a new cover driver put about a half a tank of diesel fuel into a gas package car. He was on a country route out in the middle of nowhere and another driver had to go way out of his way to get him.
I’m not sure if he is qualified yet because he didn’t start his qualification period until after peak. Not sure if he has got his 30 days in yet. But I do know he has his 70 days as a part timer so he is in the union.
My question is what do you think is going to happen to him on Monday? They were saying he had to start his packet over but never did and I know he just or was just about to sign a bid sheet to go full time.
Our shop steward is spineless.
anything I can do to help him or is he at the mercy of management?

A diesel fuel nozzle is too big too fit into a regular gas tank opening

Nice try Barney

I'm talking about at regular gas stations.

You gotta read the pump spigot labels...

Never assume anything.
I've seen diesel in green and yellow highlight colors.

In the one pic the diesel spout is the same size as the regular gasoline.

It’s not 1975 anymore.


None of the gas ones I’ve seen have that opening. That’s only on our diesel trucks.

Most UPS gas trucks were like that until the 90's or so.

1990 was 30 years ago. I know ups keeps trucks for a long time but...

No. It's wider. Just like the old regular gas pumps

We used to be taught to remove the fuel cap and visually inspect for the fuel level. Part of the pretrip.

We had a new feeder driver put DEF in the diesel tank.

We had a guy put gas into a diesel tank and totally ruined the package car. He didn’t lose his job because he was a new driver. Management hates him now though
