This wasn’t planned…. VANLIFE FAIL

I was planning on going to one of my favorite places in Montana and climbing a mountain then having an uneventful drive back to Yellowstone where I’m working. None of that happened. I filled my diesel tank with gasoline and things took a turn for the worst!

Bummer! Smart idea to take it to a storage yard though. I will have to remember that if I ever break down out on the road.

[@Sebastianstonum]

Yeah $50 for the month plus $10 insurance! Easy and safe!

[@Gurjangjagat]

“Not that I make any money there anyway” 🤣🤣

[@Sebastianstonum]

@@Gurjangjagat I DONT!!😂😂

[@jakekuick]

I was dying at that part 😂 feel that

[@vananahammock]

I enjoyed our conversation on the phone after this glad your getting her back on the road quick!

[@Sebastianstonum]

We don’t stay down for long!

[@uniwerksdesign]

Great camera angles, esp with the teapot and the steam! Keep going brother! I really hope to hang with you sometime. :-)

[@Sebastianstonum]

Thank you! We’ll definitely cross paths at some point

[@wendyorides8337]

Did that on my HD. Luckily I figured it out and didnt start the engine. We got some buckets from the gas station attendant. Figured out how to disconnect the gas line at the bottom of the tank and drained it. Put in premium gas and off we went. That bike never ran so good. Lol. Little different in your situation. You got this!!

[@Sebastianstonum]

I can attest that a good fuel tank flush is definitely worth it! Van is running better than ever now!

[@g-sailing4427]

It pains me to see you cutting with that knife on top of the westy cupboard! 😭Haha

[@tylyndahkharrod]

That was so beautiful .. I was craving that hike. Can’t wait to go and do it.. I did only 1 hike in Montana. Sorry your truck broke down.. sending out prayers you get it fixed..

[@Sebastianstonum]

I can’t wait to go back!

[@tylyndahkharrod]

@@Sebastianstonum probably more excited than you..you have no option to send funds.

[@Smokeybeesnatural]

Ugh!!! That's rough! I can attest of a similar issue. I got roped into driving a uhaul from Lexington KY to Flint MI, for a family member. I worked all night prior to the drive, so I was already tired. I accidentally filled a half tank of diesel into a GAS tank! Miraculously I was able to continue to Flint, by constantly topping it off with Gas. Ran rough and couldn't get over 55mph. Hopefully you'll be back on the road soon!

[@Sebastianstonum]

Yeah driving tired or fatigued is rough! I should’ve just camped out after my hike I got in about 3000 in elevation and tried driving most of the way Back to town. Glad everything worked out on your end!

[@_LikeATumbleweed]

Been there done that! You only do it once!!

[@Sebastianstonum]

Definitely a learning experience…!

[@5ab84]

So beautiful...

[@canterburyfour]

I might have a spare 1Z pump.

[@Sebastianstonum]

Found a 10mm etdi pump like 6 minutes from the storage yard. It couldn’t have worked out any better. Thanks though!

[@stephenrogers9664]

One word with gas into a diesel sh$t. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

[@Sebastianstonum]

@@stephenrogers9664 injectors and combustion chamber is definitely clean now. Hopefully not too clean

[@lacienegastudio5644]

Hi! Can you please let me know where I can find the storage pockets on the base of your back seat? Thanks

[@5ab84]

[@5ab84]

Did you fix your Van ?

[@nealart]

Arrrrgh!

[@josephpiskac2781]

You have a great perfect soundtrack. Sure you will figure something out. I would look once it is running to taking it to an RV lot and trading it in for a newer more dependable RV?

[@Sebastianstonum]

@@josephpiskac2781 thank you! I thought of that but I couldn’t imagine how much it would cost if I filled up a new rv with gas😅

[@aaronthomas6732]

If this is the first time hearing this you might think I’m crazy but a carnivore diet can really help joint pain. All the pasta you eat is an inflammatory food. Give a mostly meat, eggs, and a tiny bit of fruit diet a try for one month and see if anything changes. You are far too young to be having joint pain already.

[@Sebastianstonum]

I eat lots of eggs and other proteins. I just need to work on strengthening my knee with certain workouts and stretching. This will usually pop up on a hike or two early season and I’d be on top of it but I’ve been putting it off so now it’s an issue. It won’t take long to strengthen back up for the mid season mountains. It’s easy to film cooking pasta and oats haha

[@vinnie42ful]

Getting old😂

[@Sebastianstonum]

Older than yesterday😂

[@jackiegammon2065]

Complaining about your pay is pretty sad since this was a ob you were looking for.

[@Sebastianstonum]

Sorry😂😂
