Need help

[-JOSH-]

I feel like a muppet and I have just put some petrol in my 2.5l d22. I have only put in 2.6litres into a pretty much empty tank.


What should I do?

 

[sparra04]

drain the tank before it gets into fuel lines would be my suggestion

Start syphoning, get it empty, and start again. Shouldn't be an issue

Drain it and fill completely with diesel. i know people who.have just topped.it right up and kept driveing. Blown heaps.of smoke but they.claim nothing.bad. i cant see how it could be anygood for it but.

mate if you cant syphon it i wouldnt be that worried, its only 2lt.
If you fill the tank to the top you wont have problem.
I have been in a car where the owner put a good 15lt in and we didnt notice any real difference, but that was not a common rail motor.

Like i said if you cant get it out easy just fill it to the brim, and when you get to a quarter top it up again.

I was thinking of doing this but when I rang Nissan they said it has to be drained and then went on to tell me a tow was going to be $165 to travel 200m up the road.

You'll be right mate. Fill it up full with diesel. It'll be fine.

 

[sparra04]

maybe a member can tow you 200mtrs up the road

Well another dumb thing but I actually did put diesel in.

I dont normally fill up at caltex and they have vortex diesel and unleaded, so I freaked when I saw vortex on the pump I was using and hung it up and went to cry in the corner. Long story short walked over after a short while, read the pump I was using saw diesel and filled it up. Hahahahaha absolute complete genuine muppet I am.

This is what happens when you go out on a school night and don't get home till 1
