    hmmm let hope it wasn't BP and he didn't use the green handle. Did the stealership look at it or you talked to them over the phone?

    Oooooh, the Green handle would be very bad. I remember one time when I was young i was getting gas for our Jetskis and accidentally used diesel. Luckily I just put the fuel in a gas can.
