wrong fuel

Hi there,

Went to the fuel station yesterday and put in just over a litre of unleaded fuel in my td4 before I realised what I was doing. Stressed out was the excuse! I then put in 15 litres of diesel. Will this cause any issues?

Cheers
Nick

apparently not.

ok cheers

unlikely at that concentration. I take it the 15 litres you put in filled it to the top ? If not, fill the tank to the top with diesel as soon as you can as dilution is the name of the game.

Petrol in a diesel is bad news as it attacks the seals in the fuel system and causes them to break down. Once it's attacked the seals, it moves on to the sea lions and then the walruses.

keep topping it up with diesel for a while and all should be okay.

just wanted to say, about 15 months ago i started filling my td4 with unleaded, by the time i realised i had put nearly 5 litres in. i decided to brim the tank with derv and drive it.when i got home i put a litre of 2t oil in the tank( remember reading it somewhere) have done 14k since, so far no fuel related problems. hope it helps some silly fool ,like myself. tim

HOW? Can never understand how someone can put the wrong fuel in.

Green and black are very difficult to tell apart. Apologies for the sarcasm but...........

shall I google that for you ?

In his book Paradigms Lost, John Simon points out that humour and wit are nearly polar opposites. Humour is inclusive: it invites everyone to join in on the laugh and feel like one of the crowd. Wit is exclusive: it addresses itself only to those who are in the know, and if the other people in the room feel uncomfortable because they don't get it -- hey, that's a bonus.

I hope this has clarified any confusion there may be.

Oh, and difference, not differance. If I am to be encumbered with this wise title, I may as well use it

thank you ,oh wise one
