Oh Dear I've Put Petrol in My Diesel D3

<< < (3/6) > >>

hobbit:
I did it myself last year, juggling 5 vehicles around it was bound to happen

Put 1/2 a tank of petrol in the disco, realised and stopped when the smell from the tank did not correspond with the vehicle I was filling :?

Pain for it, started and pulled forward 20feet, quick phone call drag back home and drained the tank through the sender unit in the floor

Then disconnected the pipe from the fuel pump and pulled the rest out on an electric pump, until drained and filled up from cans, bled and started up no probs, still ok now

Its Ironic I ran it on tickover to drainout the filter and it ran for over ten minutes, this was to proove to somebody on how long it can  run on a filter full of fuel, nothing to do with the petrol mistake

yep, wife did the same with the Zafira..luckily it was only at £5 when she realised.. so she topped the tank with diesel, and we have had no problems...the woman at the till gave her a funny look when she gave her 2 pump numbers...

Apparently, so probobly wrong, but I remember hearing from somewhere that putting a small concentration of Petrol into a Diesel engine can actually do the engine good. I can't remember how, but It seems to stick.

But I'm known to speak garbage, so why should this be any differant.

Most lorry drivers used to put a small percentage of petrol (about a 2%) on their tanks, that helped clean the injectors, and was specially good in winter, as it prevented to some extent gellification of the diesel.
