A few months back I was checking/topping off the fluid levels in my Nissan Frontier.  I caught myself pouring windshield wiper fluid into the radiator reserve container.  Luckily I hadn't poured in very much.  I occasionally have problems strating my trimmer; has something do with a switch marked on/off  ::).

I put about a qt or 2 of gas in my diesel tractor this past winter. Realized it before starting, and got enough diesel to completely top the tank. Ran ok, but I added more diesel everytime it was down a couple of gal. until I thought it was essentially gone. Just daydreaming I guess. ;D

  At work one day I filled up the fuel tank on one of the skid steers.  Except it wasn't the fuel tank- it was the hydraulic tank.  So I bring it to the company's shop to get it drained and put a new filter on.  I told the shop foreman that some idiot put diesel in the hydraulic tank. He says "Was it you?"  I said "yeah." and he just started laughing at me.  I rib the guy all the time so he's always waiting for me to screw up.  He doesn't usually have to wait very long.

I remember changing the oil on my dad's lawnmower. I could not figure out why it was taking a full quart  until I noticed the stream running down the driveway. He was not amused.

I've been using 40:1 mix in a 25 year old lawn mower engine for five years now.  Figured that the oil might help lubricate the valves as the engine was built before non leaded gas.
