What could possibly go wrong
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - Dead Eye - 07-03-14
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
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
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - ChristoT - 07-03-14
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

Re: What I did with my Peugeot - esetest - 07-03-14
Can happen to anyone , I put a fivers worth of petrol in a diesel van (works) once.
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - rustyrider - 07-03-14
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.
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - Dead Eye - 07-03-14
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.

Re: What I did with my Peugeot - Dead Eye - 07-03-14
Apparently so :rolleyes
How much trouble can one person get in to...
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - noggythenog - 08-03-14
There must have been a female involved, someone hot at another pump or something
Re: What I did with my Peugeot - Dead Eye - 08-03-14
Sounds like another excuse to me
