Last weekend there was an oldtimer rally in town!:thumbup:
To support the local club my intention was to visit the event! So after a wash and shine and a quick visit to the petrol station you would think you are ready to have a nice weekend!
Nearly home after the pitstop a strange engine noise!!
On the driveway of my house more strange noises so I stopped the engine!
Than called somebody to put the Heb in the garage! Shit the engine just overhauled and now already broken! That can not be I believe that car is doomed!
During the night I was thinking to sell the Heb but suddenly a bell started to ring in my head!!
First thing I did the morning after was bringing a new visit to the petrol station and what seemed?
I used the same pump as I use to fill up my A7!! And for the people who don't know; the Audi is "diesel" engined car
[b]So let me be clear; a Hebmuller is NOT running on diesel!!![/b]
So I missed the rally:x and spent all monday to remove all the diesel everywhere:x but the good news is that after doing this all and fill up with the "correct juice" the Hebmuller is runnning again as before!!:thumbup:
Juicy detail; It was me who tanked, so not the most clever move I did!!!!:oops:

I guess you're lucky that no damage was done!
I hope you thought of me when you thought about selling your car :wink:

At least your tank and fuel lines are now oiled so it will not rust....
Great idea... preventing rust like that. :idea:
You are a real clever man...:omg:
Greetings.

You are not alone, ET !
I was in a hurry . Stoped with the Red Cross Papler at a gasoline station and during I was opening the front hood ,a BIG Truck stopped behind me, waiting for his turn.
I looked up to the driver and saw him staring at the Papler , with arms crossed over his steering wheel.
I began to fill in the gasoline in the tank - I checked the truck driver again - he didn`t move , was always in the same position - stared at the Papler. I looked back to the tank, again to the driver, back to the tank, back to the driver ......and he didn`t move.
At a certain point he opened the window and I thought, let`s see what question will be made this time :wink:
Slowly he pushed his head out of the window and said : I didn`t know, that beetles go with Diesel ....................
:oops: !
