So, just out of curiosity, what would be the proper course of action if you know that your neighbor dumped 1 gallon of red fuel into your tank?

 

Unless you can prove that he was being malicious your best bet is to drop your tank, rinse for risiduals, and change your filter. That is if your worried about being caught!

 

How do you know? If you have any good form of proof I would suggest filing a police report. If not and you simply saw it happen I would walk next door and call him/her on it. Ask them just what they are trying to accomplish. If they don't like your truck because of the noise or smoke that is a pretty shoddy way of letting you know. Be the bigger person and walk over there and find out. Also, at the very least get yourself a locking fuel cap. That way it can never happen again.

 

Well, for the course of the scenario, let's just say that
A. my locking fuel cap was pryed off in in the ten seconds that it takes to pry off a locking fuel cap
B. I saw the neighbor doing it and
C. when I called my neighbor on it he acted stupid and denyed that he did it.

You say that you can file a police report, but what would be the charge? Vandalism? What would be the charge if the gas cap wasn't of the locking variety?

 

For what reason did he do this ? There has got to be more to the story

 

Nice quote, haha

 

Well, he has a daughter... Then his daughter had me...

 

I would be very concerned that it was only off road.

Let's hear what you did to your neighbor(s) to get this kind of treatment!

I would say call the po-po, but thats over rated sometimes.

 

But would the police really have any authority?

What would they say; would they waiver me until the dye wears off? I don't think that they would believe you. If you could blame it on somebody else, then how do people not get away with running red fuel? Likewise, if they can't do anything, what do you do if somebody puts a gallon of red in your tank?

Seems like a fishy situation to me. I don't think that there is anything you can do, except take the potential ticket to court. But that's just a reactionary response.

 

Chances of getting dipped: 1 in 4500
Chances of getting dipped when you are a victim of sabatage are probably better, especially when the guy next door called the DOT.

I say run it, four tanks later it'll be gone.

 

Hummmm... if it were me red fuel would be the least of your concern if it were my daughter....

 

Well, it's not like she had a problem with anything...

 

Did he actually put "red" in your tank, or say he did, or do you just think he did?

 

dump the daughter... pop her once in a while when your bored and ignore her the rest of the time.

 

How does any of that change anything?

For the sake of the question you could at least assume that I was telling the truth...

(I knew that as soon as I mentioned myself and a woman in the same sentence I seriously undermined the story's credibility... )
