Default Diesel B16

Oh yeah! cruising along, check me out! ****. Oh dear. Ah yes, this is petrol car isnt it. Ive done it again, and this time i started my beutiful car, drove away and managed a few hundered meters. At least the first time I realised before I started and it only cost me a tank of fuel. Now Ive got a fcuked engine. Time to buy a new one I guess. Thats what you get for driving a diesel car all week... So, on a positive note, what engine shall I buy next??? Hmmmm

No need to buy a new engine

drain your fuel tank
change your fuel filter
run high octane gas
run a injector cleaner

it will be fine

Nah, the high octane and fuel injector cleaner will flush the diesel out and the engine will never know it was there

Ive been charged a fortune when i did it. Mind you, it was a diesel car filled with petrol that i did. Does that make a difference? How exactly do you a petrol car out?? Is it something you do yourself?

petrol in a diesel you can run it out if its less than about 25-30%. if its higher than that, you have to drain it. I wouldnt run it that high anyway, but I would just drain the tank and refill it with the proper fuel, then drive it out.
