Vehicle incorrectly fueled and the ignition switch has not been turned to the 'on' position:

...not sure if there's anything recent.

Tell me....do they have a Tech note for.....

1) Wife fills diesel with petrol
2) Puts key in ignition and turns on
3) Turns key further to start engine
4) Drives car a few k's to shops
5) Rings husband and asked why car won't start?
6) Husband asked wife if she put petrol in car instead of diesel
7) Wife says no, then check receipt which says "Unleaded"

Husband throws mobile phone across room and tells her to sort it out herself

???

It's now being towed to dealer for "assessment"

Rule 1 - Never ask your wife to fill your car, regardless of how many times you tell her it's a fu*@in' diesel and make sure you don't put petrol in it

Actually, does "Vehicle has been driven until it stops" and "Driven until it no longer starts" fit in the same category? RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

I would think so because the other category is "run for less than two minutes"!!

Around $9-10K is my understanding. Thankfully covered by insurance.

No, I was perfectly calm and collected........well sort of......well, no. Dropped in for a beer at the pub and that took the edge off. RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Hi Tim

Sorry to hear of your misfueling experience. PM me to see how you can avoid doing it again.

Welcome, mate.
It wasn't Tim who had the misfueling experience.
Anyway, if you know a way to avoid doing it why not share the idea with the forum?
