Are you sure you saw that correctly? Doesn't sound possible unless she was stuck a mile down the road.

You should have gone looking for her!

A better question arises from this commercial, how do I get my wife to fill up my car, while I sit at the wheel?

Here in Iowa they sell E85. The E85 pumps have green handles. Maybe she put in E85 which would let the car run, but not well since the Z isn't made for E85.

A friend of mine dumped diesel into my 300ZX on accident, a while back. It putt-putted and stuttered but it lived on. I just used it for a week until I can refuel with premium and it was fine after that.

so how was she able to drive off with a tank full of diesel fuel?

There's the answer

Its impossible unless she hovered the spout ABOVE the gas tank and squirted it in. Much like I do with my girl.

We had a customer manage this with his accord somehow...we flushed the system out, it seemed to work out just fine afterwards. It ran like garbage they has it towed.

I think this is what happened:
she pulled in and inserted her credit card and mistakenly grabbed the wrong pump. she probably got embarrassed and just pretended like she was filling up. lol idk hahaha

Same here, or wash her own car.
