today my girlfriend put 5 pounds worth of diesel in my car which was nearly empty i dont know how she done it as the bloody diesel pump dont fit but she did ... so i told her to fill the up with super to the top she then drove it back very slowy as i was going to kill her . about 5 miles then i drained the tank out . do you think it could have done any damage

 

Does not sound like it is her fault,at the end of the day you told her to put the diesel in.Next time do it yourself and you wont have that problem again

Also you should feel honored as you got my 1000th post

Might have been better not to have driven the car at all and used a hosepipe and some mints to sort it out

 

This is exactly why I don't like women It is typical. Their brains seem to be in their *****

 

Evening Pete

 

thats what i would have done but i was miles away working she was going mad so i was going mad you know the rest

 

You'll need to get your ECU reset once you've had a couple of tank-ups.

 

Thought you were saying you had the prototype they keep on about..

 

Hows that work then ??

 

sorry i get it now .....der

 

It'll be ok, Just avoid full boost and high revs until you've drained the tank.

 

Silly Bint

 

Any improvement in MPG?

Bet it had a bit more low down torque?

Possibly the best mod you can do for a fiver .

 

It will be fine, just run a few full tanks of super through it and add some octane booster for safe measure, diesel has the ability to lower octane rating.

You may find it smokes a bit on start up for a while

yeah it'll be fine... glad it wasn't my car

 

thanks to all who helped and the jokes .cleaned out tank today then a full tank of 99 tesco just 4 good luck reset the ecu . now im going to beat the other half with a stick still 70 pound down in fuel now shes going to pay!!!!!!!!

 

When i put petrol in my diesel, I told everybody it was my girlfriend too

 

 

 

errrr you mean gf ?

 

Plugs might be a bit oily..?

I know another 'silly bint' who put pertol in their new senic TDI, result, £3500 bill from Renault..!

 

Quite a few years ago it was thought that a bit of Diesel in a Petrol Engine assisted in Upper Cylinder Lubrication .................

Doesn't actually sound as daft as the **** Oil Change!!!

how silly of her. Could understand a girl friend putting 95 ron in, forgetting it's mapped for Optimax. Few drops of diesel possible understand - but dribbling in 5 quids worth?! Atleast you blew up at her by the sounds of it - probably won't make the mistake again.

Sure the car will be fine running on Super with booster for a few tanks. Wouldn't want it happening to mine though as I am sure diesel is corrosive to fuel lines and seals etc or something on a petrol. Atleast you've got a good excuse to never let her drive it again.

 

you need to change the fuel filter and also make sure you drained the tank completly you may find that the car coughs and spluters for a few days but it will soon clear make sure you keep the tank full to make sure any remaining contam fuels mixed with the good stuff as much as poss now then what damage can it do well with a fivers worth not much but it can **** the cat,fuel pump and injectors

i have seen this done many times and forget what the %'s are but if the car was empty and u put £5 of diesel and then fill to full with corect fuel the car should be fine as long as you dont let the fuel drop below three quaters of a tank for a while but with a scoob i would say its better to drainn the tank and start afresh
