The Blue Meanie

[redacted]

This post was spiteful and mean and good for nothing (but trouble).

A less obnoxious edit follows:

The car was pumped full of straight #2 diesel due to a misunderstanding about the forecast. As a result, the fuel nearly gelled. We tried to make the best of it and spent the evening driving around town looking at houses, but after three hours we had still only used 1/4 tank of fuel.

I should have topped off with straight #1. Instead I guessed standard pre-blended diesel would suffice. I was wrong.

Today the car will not start, as the fuel is totally gelled. We don't have much for options. Basically, Linnea has no way to go to work tomorrow and I will need to find a ride to class. Lesson learned!
