well its an east mistake to make really.... i mean i already run two diesels cars... so when i went to the petrol station and filled the monster with diesel.. well I wasn't THAT hard on myself..but the embarrassment. After a confession to Ducati Manchester I was told if i could get to them before 5pm they would be able to sort it out for me, and they could wait if i was on way. At 4.30 I was dropped off by the RAC, an hour and one soaking wet mechanic later i was informed all was well! I want to thank all at Ducati Mcr for there outstanding work and patience. Did I mention embarrassment?

Without being rude did the RAC levvy a charge to get you to the dealer ??
They usually kindly charge a 3 figure sum... :(

I know exactly what you mean. I run 2 electric cars. How silly did I feel when I plugged my Monster in last night and wondered why it wouldn't start in the morning!:banana:

The AA reckon it happens 600 times a day in the UK, so you're not alone.

Cost me £700 when I filled my BMW up with diesel... :(

Being a paid up member of the RAC ensured i got a lift to the dealers, though saying that i was at first quoted £180 by a garage recommended by the RAC to drain and refill the tank.
Taking it to ducati was nearer, quicker and free!

I put something in the wrong hole once my Mrs played holy hell! :eyepopping:
Said there was no way she wanted to get pregnant again..!

Good service from the Manchester Crew though. :)
