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!

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...

I know I shouldn't laugh at this but I couldn't help it, I'm so shallow.........

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!

Said there was no way she wanted to get pregnant again..!

Good service from the Manchester Crew though.

They did it for free, fair play!
