What could possibly go wrong

[Dead Eye]

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

[ChristoT]

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

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

Your prize is helping me drain the tank tomorrow!!

[esetest]

Can happen to anyone , I put a fivers worth of petrol in a diesel van (works) once.

[rustyrider]

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.

[Dead Eye]

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.

[unfazed]

Should not be allowed ride or drive, to dodgy to own a mechanically propelled vehicle  :rollin :rollin :rollin

[Dead Eye]

Apparently so  :rolleyes

How much trouble can one person get in to...

[noggythenog]

There must have been a female involved, someone hot at another pump or something

[Dead Eye]

Sounds like another excuse to me
