doyle Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 We once put diesel in instead of petrol. Sent for breakdown, he came and told us to fill up with petrol to dilute and it should be ok, might smell for a few miles but it was fine. He saved us a lot of money.

sedith Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 :o:o Was he wearing a mask too??? I would think that cost is about right, petrol is a solvent and damages the seals ... I didn't start mine after filling up with petrol hence the cheaper cost of draining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clublander Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I cant understand why I used wrong fuel yes they are different colours just wondered if anyone had done the same recently or if pumps have changed somehow Fair play to you for daring to post this, but seriously... are you really so deluded you think something must have changed?! Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is worth remembering if you have started to realise before topping the tank up to the top! - Unfortunately, I always fill my tank to the limit, so I am glad it hasnt happenned to me!

It depends how much of it you have put in: if you've filled your tank, then there obviously won't be enough space to dilute it. I think BP uses a different colour code to everyone else. I put a couple of gallons of petrol in by mistake a while back. Question for the others: why did they have to tow it away to drain it? Stick an appropriate pump on the fuel line: you can do that anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
