Now that that's settled, given the rest of your statement of facts, it should be of interest to the rest of us (as well as yourself<g>) to learn: 1) what failed, and 2) how the dealer and/or Honda treat you under what should obviously be a warranty situation (assuming, of course, that you didn't get hit by a missile fired from a Taliban hiding in a manhole on the roadway<g>). What myself and others have said still applies though. You're a long way - at this point - from invoking any "Lemon Law." Given the quality product that seems to be Honda's hallmark, I for one will be very surprised if they don't make it right and do so quickly. |

Well !!! Surprisingly Just now I got answer from the Honda Service That
they said, the GAS tank has DIESEL in it. Unquestionably Confused wrote: > Honda, wrote the following at or about 8/15/2006 9:49 AM: > > I did not ignore the "CHECK ENGINE" light.

Who did the last fillup? And didn't they notice the nozzle handle had an odd color and odor? Sorry to say, this one is your problem 100%. Honda is not responsible for customers who put diesel into a gasoline-fueled vehicle. This is NOT an easy mistake to make for anybody who is paying any sort of attention. Diesel nozzles are of a larger diameter than unleaded gasoline ones, and cannot be fully inserted into an unleaded gasoline filler neck, so the mismatch must have been obvious. Back in the day, leaded gas nozzles and diesel nozzles were the same size, so it was easy to mix them up, provided you ignored the smell and the oil stains all over the ground... -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Any idea what harm would be caused by diesel fuel? I would assume mostly fuel system problems, but how extensive? Can't understand how he could do this if the nozzle is bigger. Could be that the big tank was misfilled in which case there are going to be a lot of claims over it. |

It's just that modern spark ignition engines don't combust oil very well. Drain the diesel from the tank, refill with gas, then just keep cranking until gasoline reachs the injectors. It would be a bit easier if the vehicle in question didn't have a returnless system. > > Can't understand how he could do this if the nozzle is bigger.
