Had a rather eventful weekend with the old girl, everything is fine now but for a while was thinking I may have been up for a new donk...
I lent the car to my old man (Who I originally bought it off) as he is waiting for his new rav4 to arrive, he drove it around for the weekend and was bringing it back Sunday night when he thought he'd do the righty and fill it up for me. Headed towards my house where it spluttered and died about 2km down the road.
He sat for a while scratching his head, before realizing the 60L of UNLEADED he'd put it wouldn't work to well in my deisel motor............. Called me up and explained what had happen, needless to say I was quite annoyed.
Towed the car home, and began to drain the tank. All the time praying that my engine wasn't f**ked... After a search on here and good old Google I came to the conclusion that I could have blown the engine, but hopefully would be fine.
Yesterday morning I went and picked up a new fuel filter, put 20L of DEISEL in the tank, and pumped the remaining unleaded out of the fuel lines. Primed it up, and after a couple of cranks and some very rough spluttering... The old girl was BACK TO LIFE
After all that I wanted to take it for a good drive to make sure it was running right and not going to die on me any time soon, so a few mates and I loaded up and headed bush... Did about 150km yesterday so I'm pretty confident there wasn't any major damage done (fingers crossed)
Got a few pics while out. The new muddies work a treat but I really need to massage the inner gaurds a bit.
