What a Dick!!!!!!

[bigbluebear]

Just put 27 litres of petrol in my car................and it's a fucking diesel.......now waiting for the RAC to charge me £180 to drain it.......what a fucking Dick 

[red98]

Is that you christo........

[stevierst]

Oops! My missus did that, put £40 worth of petrol in our diesel, then drove it 1/2 mile home, It finally conked out on the drive.
I drained the tank, and luckily there was bugger all diesel in it. I put that 35 litres through the boxeye and she didn't miss a beat. Smoked a bit though :P

[bigbluebear]

I'm about 5 miles from home, I wouldn't make it and don't to do any possible damage to the engine

[red98]

Tow it home with the mighty thou   

[Exupnut]

If ur are able to drain yourself once home why not get RAC to just tow you home. much cheaper

For future reference.
As long as you did not start it and drive it all it needs is to drain the tank.
How much diesel was in the tank and how much does the tank hold?
Check to see if there is drain plug on the bottom of the tank. If not siphon out as much as you possibly can into something. You will buy a lot of 10 or 20 litre drums and hose for £180.  You do not necessarily have to drain it completely just get as much as you can out of it. Then fill it to the brim with fresh diesel. 
Depending on how much diesel to petrol is mixed it will work fine for a lawnmower.
I'm surprised to see a Scotsman so willing to give money freely to the AA 

[midden]

so what do they do with the drained fuel?
Wouldn't it separate if left still in containers?

Unlucky BBD. Or should we call you piggy eyes

I did ask, they do between 2-6 cars a day so not a bad wee business. The tank they drain into contains both diesel and petrol which they sign over to a refinery as it's more cost effective than going down the route of disposal of waste contamination..... Wl so he said

It's good advice but being stuck on a petrol forecourt with my daughter in the car I thought it may not be the cheapest option but the best one.

It's been an expensive couple of months with bike tax, insurance and MOT, along with my car tax and insurance, the wife's car insurance and now this.......it's beans on toast for the next few weeks!!!!

Bad luck .

I got a call from my dad yesterday. He had just put £90 of petrol in his diesel A6. £224 for the AA to drain it all out then another £90 or so to fill the car with diesel. Muppet. Hopefully he hasn't fecced it up as he drove it a couple of miles blamining water in the diesel for bad running before he twigged.

Don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that you can get away with running a bit of diesel through a petrol engine, but not the other way round.

Hope it's not true, Bob...

Yep, that's true as far as I've learned. The diesel acts as a lubricant for the fuel pump, and petrol washes that away, and can knacker the pump.

True, petrol engine will run with a bit of diesel. A few years ago when coming back from the UK having bought a Fazer 400 for my eldest son, we were diverted off the M4 around Bristol, we stopped at a small petrol station and filled the newly bought Fazer 400 and a 04 model CBR 600 from the same petrol pump. By the time we got to junction 23A there was some amount of smoke from both bikes, we stopped at Junction 23A and discovered we had diesel contamination, it had to be contamination as both bike were close to reserve when we had stopped in the Bristol and we filled from the same petrol pump. Since we had no idea how to find the station we filled at, we siphoned about half of the tanks into cans we bought in J23A filling station and filled both tanks with fresh petrol.
Trusty Fazer 400 was bit slow starting, but there was no way we could start the CBR.  We put the CBR on a recovery truck to Pembroke, pushed on to the ferry and had it collected in Rosslare by a friend in his van. The Fazer 400 ran with out issue home to Cork. We had to drain the everything out of the CBR and fit new plugs before we could get it to fire again.
