Glad to hear you had a good trip, the pictures posted I imagine are just the tip of the iceberg. Very nice.
As for the diesel, a little extra lube for the motor. You were in the hot seat till someone else did something to get the attention, that's what makes the trip so much fun
Congrats on a safe ride Choptop.
I am still in Yellowstone, leaving tomorrow for SD, eventually making it back to NC ....

Thanks for the update. I did that in reverse once. Put gas in a borrowed pickup truck that used diesel. Headed up the interstate and when it started missing, I thought "wow, feels like there might have been some water in that gas. Gas? Did I put GAS IN THIS THING?!!?"Originally Posted by choptop
End of a long 1st day trying to get to our half way destination, pull into a little town gas station to fill up for the next day before going to our motel about 10 miles away. Not sure what it was, exhaustion, distraction, the markings on the pump but I saw "91 octain" next to a red handles pump, which was next to the green diesel pump, filled her up, pushed it away, went in and paid and when I went back out to start it, it would not rev up, thought what the f..., hear that red handles pump was off road diesel, oxiginated or some such shit and I had a tank full of it in my 6. You can imagine what was going threw my mind
Small town, 6am, everything is closed, old lady said their was a man she could possibly call, he came over, sucked out the diesel, we rolled her over to the "91" and pumped her full, didn't want to start, kept trying till it would barely idle, ran like that for a minute or two till the 91 hit the engine, the idle rose, hopped on it and road it, like I stole it, for 2,800 miles. Resilient little bitch.
The moral of the story is, pumping gas for 40 some years means sht in the end and we all make mistakes and sometimes you just half to laugh about it cause your buds aren't going to let you forget.
Finally got around to putting some of my new GoPro vids on YouTube from last years vacation. The GoPro was new to me so please excuse the goof ups.bseg
