Just ran into a business associate of mine. He is real proud of his new VW
TDI. Loves it. Except the time recently he filled it with GASOLINE. A
$700 dollar mistake. I thought see if you owned a MB diesel you might not
have made that mistake, although I have come close.

240D cranked a little slow when I was going home from work yesterday. No
problem, I told myself, just slap on the battery charger overnight.
When I got home, parked the car outside intending to put it in the garage
(and attach the battery charger) after supper. Got involved in a three
hour
household project and forgot all about the car.
Walked out of the house and into the garage at 7:30 this morning. "Hey,
where's my car?" Oooops, it was outside in mid-teen temps with a non-100%
battery. Glow plug light didn't come on, either (a common problem when the
car is really cold).
So ... before walking to my office (just a few blocks) I hooked up the
battery charger!
Note to self -- put the car in the garage immediately after arriving at
the
house, especially in the winter.
