??? I thought diesel pumps were the same size as the old regular leaded pumps, which are too large to fit into an unleaded fuel tank. Thought this was a federal regulation.

OP didn't put the diesel nozzle into the filler, the gas station put Diesel Fuel into the Premium tank.

If it were me, I'd suspect that it ruined my cylinder walls, IMS, and crank bearings requiring a full replacement with at least a new 3.4L engine. :dance:
