He has to have it towed in here while the disel is still in the tank and not the engine so we can flush the tank out. He's demanding we pay for the tow, since we are the ones who say it needs to be towed.

I SOOOOOO wish that I could just tell him, "Hey, do what you want, its your car." But if I do that, then when he fucks up the engine, he'll say "Well, your guy TOLD me to drive it in!"

Sounds like the type of guy who'd blame a doctor for telling him he had X disease. Some people really can't stand to be responsible for their own actions.
