  So earlier last week I helped a friend out with his diesel pickup. He let his wife drive the truck to and from her work. So my friend forgot that the truck was low on fuel. He told her to stop on her way home from work and put some diesel in it. So she wound up putting $60 of gasoline in it. Here is Nj you pump your own diesel but gas is full service. So we over the holiday weekend we dropped the fuel tank and flush the fuel system out and installed a new fuel filter. We ended up with 30 gallons of contaminated diesel/gasoline mixed. 
 

  Now to catch a fuel thief part. My neighbors 18yo son bought a 2020 Chevy 2500 HD with the Duramax at the beginning of May. So yesterday he came over and wanted to know if I could show him how to service his truck. Oil change, fuel filter and a new air filter. While I was showing him I happen to notice he was eye balling the 6- 5 gallon yellow diesel fuel cans sitting outside of my garage. So we get done servicing his truck and I told him that he needed fuel and that he should never let the fuel level get below 1/4 of a tank because then you start sucking up the water and other garbage on the bottom of the tank that’s not good for the fuel system. Now speed things up. This morning I come out of my house to go to my garage to get my e-trike out to go to work and noticed that the yellow diesel cans were moved in a different direction. So I checked my rear door ring camera and lo and behold the neighbors son and 2 of his friends came over at around 4:30am  and carried the fuel cans away and then about 30 minutes later they came back and put the fuel cans back. So all I did was put my hand on my head and then SMH. I then leave for work at 6:30am and get down the street and at the 4 way stop I looked both ways and noticed the neighbors  son’s truck sitting on the side of the road with it’s hazard lights on. I ride up and asked him what happened (not telling him that I knew what he did) he said he was on his way to school and that turned the corner and the truck started to make a funny noise and then shut off. A couple minutes later his dad shows up asking him what wrong and his son says he doesn’t know. So I pulled his dad off to side and then told him I know what happened and then I showed him  exactly what happened. His dad got pissed off at his son. So earlier this evening my neighbor and his son came over and the son apologized to me for stealing the contents from the 6 yellow fuel cans. I offered to help them fix the truck but they refused and they said they had the truck towed to the dealership to get fixed and his son was responsible for getting it repaired.
