My dad tells of a time on the farm when they thought someone was stealing their gas from tanks. They were pretty sure that they new who was doing it, so one night they switched the position of the gas and diesel tanks. Guess who's car was broken down a mile down the road the next day?
Happened a long time ago where I worked too. The guy didn’t make it out of the plant. Hilarious.
look
was it your dad because he forgot?
Dan's ? 😆
They dont steal gas or diesel anymore. They drive away with truck trailer and what ever is on the gas tanks the truck the steal.
I’ve been in and around the used car business for 30 years....finding a guy like Eric is unheard of.
I met one over 35-years in the car business. They make a difference (for the better) in everybody's life that work with him. I see the similarity between the man I know and Eric as far as being methodical and following a logical path to find the problem.
"The smell of that spark plug right there... fills me with hatred." Bro you got issues.
Eric being an old retired guy and watching the world go to S**T I am so glad you came out with video to take my mind off of the BS.....Thanks Buddy
It's not as bad as you think, just looks that way. Keep your head up my good sir.
@@corrydriscoll6920 2 years later Do you still think things are not that bad? lol
@@corrydriscoll6920 This comment did not age well. Are you enjoying the cost of living doubling in 4 years.
"Look at me, I'm a crank sensor" 😂
Actually, he's a reluctor wheel...
I'm just a old crank, and I'm perfectly okay with that.
I have a feeling Mrs. O perfected (detecting a crank) it well before Eric did for this video... ;)
Just HOW many would have been able to smell a problem off a SPARK PLUG ? I can tell with a certain fact NO ONE where I live. Hats off to South Main Auto. Geez !!!
Any halfway decent mechanic instinctively smells your fill caps, oil, spark plugs. Been doing it since I was a kid.
No electronic throttle actuator system just a cable, I like that.
"smell my finger" nope, ain't falling for that one again!
There's your problem, lady!
That's closer to his finger than I ever wanted to be.
Should have named this one “fuel for your soul”😜
lol
chris parenti lol
ba dum tssss!
SMA Simple Matter of Attitude.Eric O.bears his Soul in this episode, including the dark side of his diesel demons.
Ironic part of this story is his original Crank Sensor that he replaced was probably good- just the rust jacking that pushed it out of position. I really love these auction car episodes.
27:00 Get some glow plugs for it! Thought I'd fall out of my chair! So damn funny! Great troubleshooting, great video!
Come across the pond and it is far more common than you like to think.
And there is even the other way around too that is far more destructive, petrol or gas in a diesel engine.
The tightly made parts really hate losing that lubricity from the diesel :D
"Thats just stupid thats why I am not doing it!" yep thats how I live my life too!
the more ridiculous a car situation is, the more eric likes it. These are the epic videos.
"I wish I kept the original sample" That had me rolling when you realized there were a couple decent sized samples next to ya.
30:20 . A day in the life of the average mechanic! Ha.
You my Friend , cannot possibly remember what it was like to be an average mechanic. You must've been like five years old when you left the realm of "average mechanic.
Thanks a Million for sharing your insight and discipline with us Average Mechanics. You make our lives a lot easier to live.
"Smell my finger" hahahahahahahaha. Eric you never fail to make stuff hilarious. If I say stuff like that on job sites I get looked at like I have metal problems hahaha
What kinda metal problems... too much rust 😏
@@adventureoflinkmk2 I was thinking porous welds
My scratch 'n sniff TH-cam isn't working...
I thought Eric the car guy was someone else
@@vortexrage3918 it's a blown fuse LOL
I loved both parts of the video. I have a Kia Niro, and as a car, it's done pretty well. It's good to see you fixing the car auction car or not, irrespective of what it is and not making the person feel awkward about their car choice. Like so many others do. I bought a petrol hybrid cause I do a load of miles a year and wanted to ensure I could afford to keep it on the road and the fuel doesn't bankrupt me doing it. Your just down to earth fair and if you can fix it you do. No matter if its a executive car or a shed you just get people back on the road and your realistic with people about how long a vehicle is going to last. Thanks Eric and Mrs O and the team
I was a taxi driver and drove this car (2010) back in 2013. All the Kia Soul's in the fleet had 360k to 400k miles. I enjoyed driving it because it was spunky around town and was super fuel efficient. Not as much room as the ford interceptor/grand marquis but that fuel savings was money in the pocket. Easily saved me $30 a shift.
I am absolutely amazed at how the South Koreans have completely turned their country around after WW2. Of course, I have never met one that considers themselves to be "entitled". Every single Korean I have met works their ass off, and they are above average intelligence. The other thing that amazes me is why there are people in this country that think communism is the way to go. Can't they see the difference between north, and south Korea?
One of my all time favorite SMA videos. Great editing to show wave forms as well. Turning the gas can spout 180 degrees, priceless. I've been using these plastic cans for 25 years and never figured out to do that until you showed me today. Great teaching. Thanks.Craig
Well. You now have "parts cleaning solvent".
or an unknown blend for a 2 cycle engine. yeah I still have a couple of those
I was gonna say, "8 gallons of engine flush"
@@chrisjackson9102 much better than kerosene and less expensive.
I couldn't agree with you guys more. It's sad that people think they have to run out and buy TP (whatever for?). And everything else. I think the best way to avoid the virus is to avoid people, wash, wash, and just use good old common sense. I hope we all get through this and continue on with our happy lives, god bless you all!!
@@trybriguy1357
it becomes leverage. Income.
Useable.
Doesn't go off.
After finding the fuel issue.....as you were revving the engine i was praying, if it was a sleezoid that did this, might want to also check the oil
I understand putting these videos together is a lot of work. Please keep them coming. With the whole world being shut down, this will be my only source of sanity.
Man U r a riot! I don’t know what is better on ur channel, ur quick wit and humor or knowledge I get from u. Ur common sense and knowledge is not like any I experienced! Thank u for what u do and how u do it!
SMA needs a “Scratch ‘n Sniff” option. 🤣
What gave me the start to my career as a mechanic was working for an equipment and party rental place. The party rental drivers were using a rented truck with a Cat 3208, but they were so used to pumping gas into their normal trucks, they filled the diesel truck with gas and got 2 miles down the road before it quit. I went with a 55 gallon drum and a pump, got the gas out of it, added diesel, then bled out the engine.
That was 36 years ago, and started a career with diesels (mostly marine).
Takes " there's your problem , lady !" to a whole new level 😂 ( gasp , no brake kleen sound effect ! 😲 ) Ok , did it the second time ya used it , all good now 😁
So, what's the background of the dramatic music that accompanies (almost) every use of brake cleaner?
Great videos! Granted I'd probably watch you shop for groceries just to hear you narrate the trip. I'm easily entertained.
Haha I will be shopping for groceries not watching the video but listening to him
Always impressive. When you say," If I can do it, you can do it." I always feel like the kid sitting in the back row of the classroom.
Boy watching your videos it makes me miss them days. Now day with internet you can do everything back in the day it was up to the person to find problem and fix. But watching you I can tell you would have been one of the good ones. I must say the money you have in tools I would be in heaven. No joke here my first ring job I did only had a few tools that would fit in one hand. Lol. Hard to believe it worked too ran for a few years then finally traded in. Like your videos it’s a shame my days of twisting wrenches is only a memory.
As a newbie mechanic erics problem solving is really inspiring . i was thinking crankshaft sensor just replace problem solve boy was i wrong eric o showed thats it really not that easy and diagnostic practice is really the best way to go . but surprise had he not pulled those spark plugs and smelled them . i had no idea where this was going but once again i learned something new . love sma eric o your the best .
I'm glad the nozzles for diesel are larger than the nozzles for regular gas (here in Nebraska). I was tired one day after work and spent too long trying to figure out why I couldn't get the nozzle in the tank. To be fair, the color of the handles was green for regular gas, and black for diesel!
This Kia actually stole and redeemed that free mixed drink token
it really does have a soul
I am a guy and a mobile mechanic. I have learned much from your videos. I Love you man. Thank you for the awesome videos and the commentary.
As my father always said, "the nose knows" .
Thank you, Eric. Watched the pump out of fuel in the pail for 5 seconds... Had to pause to go to the little boys room 🙄😜
Awesome video man. Been there with bad fuel. Great tips on the integrity of the test equipment too. Nothing like something as simple as a test light bulb going bad in the middle of testing something lolol
i watch both SMA and Joes auto electric...the both of you need to open a trade school for REAL mechanics not parts replacers. Good Job to the both of you for bring back common sense and simple diagnostics to the field.
I must have the smellavision, every time you brought the plug to the camera, I smelled diesel, 😂. Another great video!!!!
Always seems like the auction car fixes require that little something extra! Good job Eric.
I think a lot of mechanics would have missed the gasoline/diesel fuel thing. Kudos to you.
I didn't hear the brake kleen sound when the can entered the screen!!!😄 Mr O you get some entertaining stuff to diagnose.
The second time he used it , it was there ( worried me for a moment the first time , too ) 🤣
17:10
Boy, this was a good one. Hopefully the catalytic converter is okay. What makes this channel is you can laugh and learn at the same time. Never a dull moment...
I helped my dad with his Ford Fusion transmission lines. I know the exact line you are talking about, I ended up using a Dremel to cut the connector apart to remove it. What a PITA!!
Eric, I was and am a jack of all trades and heavy equip wrench turner by trade. Retired (sort of). Misspent youth as a modest gear head. Point is I’ve seen a lot but you are the real deal! My kinda guy and you hunt too. Would love to work with you in your shop. Teach the old dog a lot of new tricks. Your electronic knowledge is first rate. Here’s to you and the family. Bet you had a salty dog for a dad.
Judging by the diesel in the tank I would say Charlie's served them 2 too many
Eric, you should do a video where you feature josh as the repair man for the job. We want to see josh fix something cool on a video! :D
Who/why would anyone, let alone 40 people dislike this video? Nice job Eric, you are a pro.
EV lovers
People manage to fill their gasoline tanks with diesel from the pump more often than you would think, and takes quite a bit of diesel for it to prevent it from running. I personally think it was someone that figured out how to fill their car up when they found that the "gas" pump had the wrong sized nozzle.
You probably won’t believe me but when I saw that first plug and your reaction, the first thought that hit me was “diesel”. I’ve seen people put gasoline in a diesel but never the other way around.
I got a great deal on about half dozen 13hp pressure washers. Employee put diesel in them one at a time. Every time he did it and washer wouldn't run the shop would throw it out back and buy another.
They had been sitting for a couple years when I got them so they had the expected weathering. Ended up piecing together 4 solid washers.
@@9HighFlyer9 Somebody gave us a pressure washer that the engine was seized. Turned out, no, it wasn't seized : they had FILLED the sump with oil up to the top. Cylinder was full of oil. Dumped all the oil from the crankcase, and out of the spark plug hole. Cleaned plug, new oil, cleaned the oil out of the carb., got it going. Well oiled machine.
Back in the 80’s we had a Chevy Nova, one that was built in CA along with the Toyota Corolla - very similar cars at that time. We filled the car with gas at our usual gas station, but the fuel supplier had put diesel fuel in the gasoline tank underground. The company paid to have our gas tank drained and cleaned and we got it running again. They must have had many cars that had to be serviced in that way.
The "basics" are still alive and well. That was a good catch.
At least you found the issue quickly, and you didn't throw unnecessary parts at it! Like Tucan Sam follow your nose!!! Good mechanic for sure!
When you said something to the effect of Kias don't run without spark, at least not this one, I had a flash of foreshadowing. Amazing.
not often you hear a fuel pump described as being "like a middle aged man with a swollen prostate" :-)
It would be interesting to learn the story behind this one!
(this one being the car, not the prostate :-) )
Eric,
Great video series - thank you! I love these types of case studies with an unusual issue. You have a great nose - literally - for finding the problem.
SMA#1
God bless
Stay healthy

You r the best of the best tracking hound dogs that ever tracked a problem.
Does anybody else check out how long the video is and get excited when it's a long one?
Cant work on a soul with soul jokes. It's bad for the soul. I would have thrown a fuel filter at it. "Love the smell of petrol". Great video as always . Keep it up Eric. You are helping many become better mechanics .
Eric, can you add a pocket tee shirt to your swag? That's all I wear at home and I use the pocket religiously.
Your diagnosis. insight and mechanic skills are master class. Your videography is exceptional. Thank you for the tutorial and … entertainment.
Thanks Eric.. Wasn't sure if I was going to wait without breaking the edge of my seat.
Wow! I am impressed with your abilities. I am sure your daughter is going to have a good teacher. I learned several things out of this video. Thanks!!
Sister in-law put diesel in an 08 pilot. Sent her to a shop near by since my back was injured, 800 bucks later it’s running and driving but a week later the Cat started throwing a code. Likely needs a cat due to the diesel
Pilots are notorious for burning cats, they have 4. Thankfully they're cheap for a cat. Check with Honda dealer. I think they're warranted to 100k miles no matter the year.
You are my hero (the AvE of auto repair!!!)
Some day.... Eric O. Is going to retire, and it's going to be sad 😭 hopefully he takes us with him after wards
Im a master tech and I had a hyundai that came in with diesel last week and boy did it have me actually thinking hard why it wouldn’t start. I definitely learned from that. Most customers wont tell you they add diesel so they make you do the dance. I can now definitely differentiate diesel from gas now lol.
They wanted to be environmentally conscious, so they used the green nozzle
that green nozzle at bp here in ga is gas not what you think
Had to pump out a tank one time, diesel was in the tank. Small-town gas station had replaced a nozzle on their diesel pump with one which had the unleaded sized tip (I verified that). That's one way it could happen, but I've only ever seen it once.
The local gas station has green for gasoline and yellow for diesel. Freaks me out mid-pump from time to time.
@@michaelthompson7570 I hate going to BP for that reason. I am originally from Cali and it confused the heck out of me when I first moved to GA.
I really enjoy watching your videos a lot, it reminds me when I worked in a mechanical workshop. Today I dedicate myself to something else, but my best memories are there greetings from Argentina.
Eric you hit it out of the park, great job super tech.
big thumbs up for the Lego Movie song reference - "darkness, no parents"...
Thanks for another video using the Pico Scope. It's getting to be a must have in vehicle diagnosis. Thanks again.
I had the unique opportunity to experience diesel in my gasoline van, when a friend in his diesel truck brought me 5 gallons of fuel when I had run out. I didn't even think of calling him 'shirley'...surely that's gasoline you brought me, right? So I found out the hard way to never "ASSume!" Another great video, thanks for posting!
You have helped me so much in my diagnosis in repairing vehicles thanks so much and keep it up
Mr O you good sir are anything but a average mechanic .. If you your shop was closer to me I would try and come to work with you instead of my lame job of driving truck.. keep up the good work.
That’s good brush pile starting fluid...
Ted Ryan shhhhh, the EPA will hear you 🤫 😂
DarkKnight500 I was walking around with a gas can the other day and my five year old asked me what I was going to light on fire.
Raisin’ ‘em right.
Working for the Post Office we had a private fueling service fill about 15 mail trucks with diesel , not gasoline . Took them a while to fix that !
I love the fact that you never give up, master tech 👍👌🏻
Eric just showed you why I only go to NAPA, and i put the old part on the counter AND I open the box and compare it to the old part before paying for it.
Actually in upstate NY IE: the Adirondacks the diesel nozzle is the same size I've had 3 people at my shop in the last year who accidentally put diesel in a gas car.
I mean all you gotta do is PAY ATTENTION, or maybe a "NEWBIE DRIVER", or the one who went to go fill up, usually drives "DIESELS", and maybe by force of habit, not realizing the car was gasoline, & OOPS.... 😯😱
I know of atleast one person who purchased a new Toyota pk-up back when flex fuel was getting to be common and did it on purpose because diesel just happened to be a few pennies cheaper than gas and the salesman said it could run on as little as 15% gasoline.... he totally missed the ethanol part.... despite the stickers inside the gas door and nice yellow cap....etc.
I think the dealership got him for something like $5k to replace his 'fuel system' some people are just brilliant individuals.
That fuel tank access panel can be resealed with windshield ribbon. Store the leftover in a zip lock bag and you're ready next time.
Do a video of the new lift install! I am getting ready to put a lift in my shop and i trust you to install it correctly.
Thats a good engine. I had one in my kia Spectra and i got 353000 miles on it and my friend bought it and is still driving it 250 miles a day with no issues still. Always changing the fluids is key to longevity
You are definitely far above average! Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
'the diesel nozzle won't fit in the gas tank' - you're seriously underestimating the ability of some people to achieve disaster from the impossible
20:06 Can definitely relate to the prostate analogy.
a worn sharp old putty knife works pretty good for getting the sealant loose
I'm curious if this guy actually saved money on this one.
Not hating on kia, but Kia, doesn't run, it was probably a steal.
I am, too. I really wanna know. How much did he pay for the car and how much did Eric charge him?
Of course he did most cars sold at the auction are super cheap like 100 bucks
How very dare you!! Diesel is the elixir of all engines with true powahhhhh.
Being a heavy diesel mech, kerosene was always a favourite poison of operators, their heaters used kero, and in the cold of night they’d refuel their truck with the kero fuel can. Which caused an interesting bunch of symptoms.
Great work by the way, a very surprising two for one deal.
Another great diagnostic job Eric. Thanks for bringing us along.
Flex fuel option not ticked (Ethanol). Petrol and Roman numerals, must be SMA.
Great diagnosis and repair.
Thanks for sharing.
Between diesel fuel in gasoline cars and vice versa, I drain 3-4 tanks per year.
IMHO one of your best diagnostic videos. Very methodical with clear explanations. SMA Premium!
Great job,loved those common sense tricks.. Thanks Eric!
I have a 2012 Kia Sorento with the 4 cylinder for around town. Been a problem free car. Good catch on the diesel. I would have changed the oil due to diesel contamination since it had been cranked so much by you and the other tech. You have a great channel.
"If I can do it, you can do it"...... thanks for the vote of confidence!.... but when you do something and make it look easy, it's because you are good at it ! That's why you are the professor and we are the students.
What an excellent teaching case.
Great video Eric, I love watching you track a mystery problem! You're the Master!
It’s alive ,livin,and breathing
When you do WUW, I think a few of us would like to hear what the owner said when you gave him/her the diagnosis.
AND the rings are loose now, and the carbon buildup in the combustion chamber is all flushed away... nice work and good vids!
