Does it involve a lamp post?
-

-
does it still drive ok?
Not prepared to risk it.
-
Is it a diesel????
Yes, but that was a design flaw!!
-
Does it involve a lamp post?
No. The lampposts of Cambridgeshire are intact.
-
is it foreign ?
Peugeot is a French brand; whaddya think?
-
Does it involve a lamp post?
No. The lampposts of Cambridgeshire are intact.
Some other solid, unyielding object then?
-
did you blow the engine up? or did you just crash it?

:woot :woot :woot :woot Noggy wins!!!!!
What's my prize?.......some free fuel :rolleyes
Did you stick one of those standard issue French Baguettes in the tank to soak it up.
Can safely say i've never done that but my wifes step dad stuck £80 of petrol in his diesel 4x4 last week before he realised, he had a big Kia Sorento...had it towed to the stealers....about £300 later he got it back but he had driven it about 6 miles :o .
-
ouch.
do you have breakdown cover?
-
Yep. Luckily, I didn't start the engine. The car got delivered home by the RAC, still cost £28. Beats the £199 they wanted to pump it out!
Will drain the tank either tomorrow or Saturday.
-
bit of a result there mate. if you had started it, it would be more than £29 worth in headaches for you, if nothing else.
-
Would you spend £3.99 to save up to £3000 ?
You would if you had a Diesel Vehicle.
Every year over 1.5 Million fuelling errors occur ! Don't be one of them. Petrol wrecks and can destroy diesel engines. Petrol in a Diesel engine will cause catastrophic damage that will result in the engine having to be stripped down and rebuilt, and the entire fuel system will have to be drained and cleaned !!
Can you manage without your vehicle whilst this is been done, the costs are up to £3000 let alone additional costs such as hire cars, towing in and the sheer inconvenience.
Simply attach the low cost FUELRITE wobbler inside the fuel filler cap. This then serves as a warning to ANYONE fuelling the vehicle... Ideal for company fleets with multiple fuel vehicles and ideal for families were people drive and fuel assorted cars.
FUELRITE clear visible warning fitted in seconds.
WARNING
If you ever put the wrong fuel in a Diesel Tank DO NOT START THE ENGINE !!
£2.99 (Including VAT at 20% and FREE UK DELIVERY :)
engine having to be stripped down and rebuilt
Sounds right up your street........when does the new build thread start? :b

Invite deadeye round to help
What could possibly go wrong :D
-
Hey! What did I do to deserve that...
Besides this; Christo, you complete and utter motoring failure of epic proportion...
I've drained the fuel from a 306 before... but that was because the head gasket blew and I wasn't sending the thing to the scrap yard with a full tank of fuel :P
I was a little concerned initially when I got my first petrol car, after having driven 3 diesels, about putting the wrong fuel in; however somehow I manage to identify the correct nozzle at the pump each time I visit :D
-
I know exactly how I did it...
The fuel station I go to in Chatteris has the diesel nozzle on the far right as you look at it. Also, the garage I was at, I've only been to twice before on the ZX-4 (petrol). I was going to go over to Deefer's, it had been a long day, I was in a hurry, pulled up, grabbed the nozzle, and stuck it in without thinking. Then put in £10. It was only when I was replacing the nozzle I twigged "Hang on, that wasn't diesel. Oh fuck."
Human error all the way... :rolleyes
-
Human error all the way... :rolleyes
Wait does that mean you aren't blaming some 3rd party, the pump, or the alignment of the planets for this incident?! :eek :eek :eek
-
You ain't human ;)

Ha bloody ha.
When it's my fault, I fess up to it. That was a d'oh! moment, but it down to my doziness.
You ain't human ;)
If you're implying I am a superior life form: thank you. :lol
-
I wasn't ;)
-
I wasn't ;)
You were.
You're just in denial. ;)
-

Yes ok you're right, I was wrong. I blame this error on the Amoeba ;)

Remember The Blob? :rollin

Your prize is helping me drain the tank tomorrow!!
-
Can happen to anyone , I put a fivers worth of petrol in a diesel van (works) once.
-
How big is the tank? As it's an old tech diesel and not one of these modern high pressure common rail things, it won't be too bothered about a bit of petrol mixed in with the diesel. If you can get it down to about a 10/90 petrol/diesel mix, it'll be fine.
-
With the amount he put in, the best he can expect is a 1:4 ratio (20% petrol)
Best option is to drain as much as possible ideally and fill the tank to ensure the lowest amount of contamination
-
F**k a load of chip oil in and fire her up.

That's the plan, Liam. I finish the draining tomorrow, then a full tank of diesel.
-
Should not be allowed ride or drive, to dodgy to own a mechanically propelled vehicle :rollin :rollin :rollin
-
Apparently so :rolleyes
How much trouble can one person get in to...
-
There must have been a female involved, someone hot at another pump or something
-
Sounds like another excuse to me :P

I said nuffink!

Wanna jot down your 10 stage plan for the draining of tank and disposal of fuel so we can rip the shit out of it make sure your approach is environmentally friendly and not likely to evacuate any dwellings :lol :lol

I was planning on setting fire to it outside a certain house in Wokingham... :evil :evil :evil
Either add a few litres to my tank every top up, or give it to a local farmer to help him start his bonfires.

Back in the day we always put some petrol in the diesel to stop it freezing, admittedly 10 quids worth in such a small tank is to much.
Make sure you film the removal though Chris so we can catch the You Tube sensation before anyone else. "Lad burns down entire town fixing his Pug"

It's working now, I just need to remember to put it in in small doses occasionally!
Either that, or I'll give to to a farmer to burn.
