Anyone who does this kind of nonsense shouldn't be allowed to buy/operate any kind of vehicle without familiarizing themselves where things are on that vehicle.

Reminds me of a business acquaintance (lives in South Dakota) that bought a *BRAND NEW* F*rd F350 Super Duty with the fancy diesel engine and filled the tank with gasoline at the station less than 4 hours of leaving the dealership. He honestly thought he had filled with diesel until the attendant pointed out to him the pump clearly said gasoline and the credit card slip showed the pump number as well. Needless to say, he had to have the truck towed back to the dealer for a thorough clean-out and paid through the nose, 'cause the warranty doesn't cover stupidity. He's a bit out there, so in way I wasn't surprised.

Cheers
