dirtymac Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Never seen anything like that before. Seems to be a reminder not to fill the truck with diesel. I had cousins that would mark around the gas cap and door to remind their kids and wives not to put gas in the diesel truck. Never seen this done on a dash before. To me it screams desperation after someone made some mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some burl laminate I may try on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Sadly this is a rare case of the bezel not having damaged mounting tabs for the screws. I found some burl laminate I may try on this. There was a guy on here a few years back who was pattern matching burlwood and rosewood steering wheel horn bar and radio bezel appliques. I think he started out doing it to Crown Vic's and David caught him from his eBay store. The finished product looked fantastic! 🤩 As I recall his name was Perry. A lot of members were after the brushed aluminum XLS trim but he couldn't find a perfect match, then he had to move location and kinda dropped off the radar. I don't know if it was overwhelming or too far outside his wheelhouse, but I can try to find the thread...

Diesel spout is bigger than unleaded so you can't fail the other way around, but a friend had one of his drivers put 30 gallons of gasoline in a diesel van and completely destroy the engine.... Notice, no ROTFL smiley here. I think perhaps they should make diesel gas caps green. They say you can't fix stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're at a gas station, yes, but if you're getting fuel from the farm, you never know what kind of pump handle you might have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
