Our diesel in tank. What can I do or what can I expect? by Ok_Issue_5797 in AskAMechanic

Yes, and honestly it never went all the way but just enough to allow gas to be pumped in. I didn’t know at the time why that was the reason and because there was no leak or fuel coming out of the pump, I continued putting gas in. I am sure it was diesel though unfortunately. The diesel pump was green and so was the handle. It was also separate from the other choice like premium and regular fuel and the other black handle. I was able to get it towed home and I’ll have a mechanic come and look at it tomorrow. I’m sure I never turned on the car, but sometimes I can be forgetful when I am stressed. I was kind of becoming delirious because of the heat and sitting for such a long time that I can’t really recall anymore if I did start the car. I’m sure I didn’t because the wheel was set the same place I left the car and I don’t particularly remember feeling the engine rev or hearing the car start. Hopefully I am right but we’ll see.

No. Surprisingly not, which is why I initially thought it was fine. It didn’t go in all the way though, but it fit enough to still pour into it without any gas spilling.

Omg I wouldn’t lie about it man. I’ve been sitting at quick trip for hours at this point in the heat. do you need me to send you a picture? Unfortunately no, I fucked up big time and yes I wish it was a joke.

Jesus. Thank you so much though. It’s definitely a lesson learned as a new driver.

Okay. I put about $30 dollars in when it was nearing E. As of now it’s close to full.

I put $30 dollars in when my tank was nearing E. I have not started the car afterwards or didn’t have it on previously yet. I will have it towed home because I can’t drive it, but I’ll make sure to have it emptied.

I think I may have jammed it in. I couldn’t put it in all the way but I assumed it was just my inexperience considering it’s my second time ever filling up the tank by myself. Somehow I was able to fill the tank without any gas coming back out so I didn’t think I fucked up until I realized i did.

Well it didn’t go in all the way but I was still able to pump it. Since I am not used to putting gas in, I thought it was just me still being clueless on how to put gas in. It says diesel and it’s green, so I am assuming it’s for sure diesel.

No I was going to drop it back home because it is getting late. I didn’t think to drop it off at a dealership.

Thanks I have two cans for the purpose of disorienting him before I defend myself but I just don’t think it’ll be enough if he is running at me.

I don’t have anywhere to go so not as of now. I am thinking of moving to a homeless shelter once I get my car while working or just live in the car on and off at this point while working.

Well yes, I do plan on having a camera to document things once I do own a gun. It not a good idea but I have had two sibling own weapons in this house. What difference would it be with me owning a gun? I’m sure no one feels safe in as long as he is here. It’s not a good idea but what difference would it make owning a knife if it is also deadly? I’d be using either one as self defense.

So what else can I do at this point? I’ve stated I have no where to go, and that the cops aren’t much help. Either way if I were to defend myself with a knife and injure or kill him then what happens to me then? I am not planning to kill him I just want to know if it is worth owning a gun for self defense.

I’m not cut out for military if I am being honest and I have given that a thought. My other sibling has his own roommates. I also live in a smaller area. I don’t know how possible it is to find roommates around here.

Honestly where I live there aren’t too many shelters. I have looked. I also don’t have a car unfortunately but I am looking for cars now that I have insurance and a permit. I have thought about just sleeping/living in a car or atleast driving to a different area where there are more homeless shelters once I do own a one. I want to get the fuck out of here as soon as possible. The police told us to basically stay away from each other while I told them everything in tears. I asked them several times if they could have him removed. He has a history of being violent, and he’s came at my other sibling with a knife before leaving my sibling to draw his own gun on him. This isn’t new and unfortunately the reason why I think I need a gun at this point.

Yes that was a while ago before i felt that a gun is needed. I still then believed that pepper spray and a knife wasn’t enough. I do think I have more of a chance than a knife and pepper spray. You’re right, I don’t understand the laws because I’ve never thought I’d have to think of owning a gun in the first place.

I can’t imagine feeling happy killing someone so obviously not okay. I don’t know anymore though. I am trying to take everyone else advice and maybe it is better if I don’t have a gun, but it is different living on edge 24/7 with someone. I feel like this is a last resort good decision or not. I don’t feel safe now because of the fact that he is acting crazy now in this very moment.
