GAS in a POWERSTROKE

Yep, it happened again. One of the fellows I work with got distracted by a skirt or something and put $75 gas in his brand new PowerJoke. He didn't realize it until he called and complained to the convienience store that they had bad diesel. That's when the lady told him that he had bought gas. He had driven it to work, 15 miles and then home 15 miles. Well the rollback took it to the dealer and they charged him dearly to drain, clean and replace filters. Well, according to him it was the trucks fault and he traded it in on a new car. That F250 Crewcab Ford sat on the lot about a week and a half and was gone. $41,995 was the asking price. The dealer had given it a clean bill of health. Makes me wonder somtimes about ethics.

Well, you have to put at least 5 gallons of gasoline in a Diesel tank to cause any real damage...

Don't guess I have ever smelled a Ford, but there is NOTHING any more pungent than my '06 CTD exhaust.

My brother has a 96 ps and my dad has a 99 ps. They both smell way different than mine. I always wondered why they smell different? We are burning the same fuel after all.

I agree, the powerstrokes do have their own unique smell. They dont just run like crap, they smell like it too!
