filling up diesel, "product dies"

So i filled up the X5d today, tank was about 1/4 full before refilling.
Midway through the refill, the pump stopped, and the attendant had to manually continue filling the car. (mind you this is jersey, so we dont do it ourselves )

anyway just noticed on the receipt, where is says number of gallons filled 17.5g and price $3.19, in case anyone was wondering, it says, "product dies."

not really concerned or anything, but does anyone know what that means? did the pump fail? wrong kind of diesel put in? Filled up at a Sunoco.

*side note - did anyone notice, the foglights turn on in the direction you are turning? i thought one fog light was out when the steering was turned, but it does it to help you...i thought the xenons turned too?

thanks in advance!

car is 3 weeks old. 300 miles. 20mpg city for now.

Likely means "Product diesel". They just ran out of space for the "el".....

Isn't that what the Adaptative Headlights are supposed to do?

Yes, the fog light coming on is part of the turning lamp feature. The adaptive xenons adjust a few degrees left or right to follow the road at speed. The fog lamp is designed for a sharp turn such as a right hand turn into a laneway.

Good catch, I didn't see that until you mentioned it!
