I'm such a tool, diesel BlackBird anyone?

[_Stretchie_]

Put diesel in the bike today...

Not much, only a litre but the bike had been on the reserve light for about 20 miles so I put another £10 of petrol in and rode home.

Just drained the tank and the carbs, ran it for a few minutes with some new petrol and just put the air box and tank back on.

What a dunce, I can now no longer take the micky of daft people who do this

NNnnnnnooooooo!

I put petrol in the car the other day. Absolutely gutted. £50 unleaded, £248 drain fee, £50 diesel. I blame the bike.

[garynortheast]

I also slapped £20 of lead free in my diesel Peugot the other day.#-o I then drove 12 miles home before realising what I'd done (it ran but it was a bit knocky!!). I put half a pint of semi synth 10/40 in the fuel filler then turned round and drove cautiously another 6 miles to a local garage and put 50 quids worth of diesel in on top of it. It's been running perfectly ever since.

No comment.












Just waiting for the day I do it.

A mate of mine put £20 worth of UL in his diesel van. Then relaised and brimed it with Diesel. It was the best it ever ran.

I put a tenners worth of petrol in an ambulance once!! Brimmed it with diesel when i noticed my self doing it but felt a right tool when i had to explain why i had signed for petrol on the account!

[Jayneflakes]

Well never mind dear Stretchie, it could have been a lot worse, you could have filled it right up before you noticed!

Lesson here folks, don't fill up if you are tired, stressed or having an off day!

Have a dirty Jayney hug to make you feel better!

My bro filled his diesel Peugeot with petrol, £30 worth. Then drove around until it started coughing and stuttering, took it to a garage to top up with diesel and it wouldn't start! So the local mechanic picked it up, and cleaned the filter and stuff out but didn't bother draining the system, said it would be ok because it was filled with diesel now.....well...that car is in car heaven now....it killed it. Bro got to drive about 3 times and then it died. What a muppet!

One lad at work filled a job bike with diesel.

Silly Billy, are you trying for PeteVtwins diesel crown?

Brother put a tank of petrol in his brand New Seat Leon once. Broke the turbo, very expensive! To his credit though, he had just come back from filling the missus's car with petrol, so he had a lapse in sanity....which cost him a few hundred quid.

Do what makes you feel good, remember though, I have only done this once and as such retain the right to take the mick out of you....

How many engines you gone through because of your "oil filling in abilities"?
\\:D/

[Jamesy D]

Friend of mine sold his absolutely mint-condition GSXR1000, built by Crescent to BSB standard with all the toys, about £30,000 worth of stuff on there. Had to sell it due to legal bills, ended up selling it to a van driver, who proceeded to ride it to the nearest garage, fill it with diesel, then not be able to ride it and break it for parts.

Not too good, but at least it was small enough that it didn't totally ruin the bike! Just waiting for when I do it now...

[Luckypants]

Yep, went to fill the car at 1am after a long drive Sunday night, half way through had a massive panic I was filling with petrol. Luckily it was just paranoia. I have put petrol in my car once in the past, but realised my mistake and brimmed it with diesel to compensate.

He might not be able to, but there are plenty of others that will ;)

[DJFridge]

I've not done it to the bike yet (fingers crossed, touching wood with my non-typing hand) but we have one diesel and one petrol car. Every time I go to fill one up, and I know Wifey does the same, I'm either chanting in my head "passenger : petrol" or "driver : diesel" to make sure I fill up on the right side. If the filler caps weren't on opposite sides on the two cars I think we'd have blown something up by now!

[garynortheast]

My trouble is that I use the bike most of the time and automatically reach for the petrol nozzle when filling the tank.

[suzukigt380paul]

the one thing that most of you with common rail diesel motors dont realize is that if you put petrol in a diesel car and run any petrol through the pump say as little as a thimble/eggcup full then you can put a almost 100% chance that one day may be even 40k or more down the road on one cold british winters day a light will come on to say low pump pressure and a bill for about a grand,the pumps run at 100+bar and the only lube is the diesel and lack of lube is a killer,a mate in the rac says that most diesel pumps are good for 250k and almost all of the premature failer he has seen can be tracked back to petrol being added into the tank

[yorkie_chris]

Most petrol engines won't die horribly for quite a while if you get a bit of diesel in there. Mate of mine used to run contaminated petrol in his escort all the time, ran right enough if suitably diluted. If you start to hear pinking then add some more petrol or don't let it "lug" at low rpm.

Probably not a good idea long term but I would not be too fussed about 1l in a 15-20l tank. Ride it home, drain it out into cans and add a can per tank therafter to burn it off.

[Stonesie]

I have never mis-fueled, but the chap next door used to run his picasso HDI on scrapyard diesel that his brother got for him, 1 HP fuel pump and set of injectors later he started using pump diesel. those HP pumps are a bit more than 100 bar, old pug 306 D turbos inject at 175 bar and will run on just about anything, modern common rail diesels are scary high pressure (the current 1.6 hdi is 1600 bar) so the pump needs to have the lubrication or they die really quickly.

[ian505050]

Is it just me or should petrol and diesel have different shape nossels and holes so that its physically impossible to put the wrong fuel in? Like them shapes you try and push through holes as a kid.
Or am I missing something?.

[_Stretchie_]

Well, I don't know about you but I just have a large opening.....

On the bike of course.

Only ever had petrol vehicles so this has never been an issue. A diesel car looms. Watch this space...

[dazbo]

Feeling smug that my Landy has a thing in the filler pipe which recognises a petrol nozzle and shuts the pipe off.

Just need to be careful on the bike especially as the local Esso station seems to think all pumps should be the same colour and only needs a small 10cm x 5 cm coloured flash on one side to indicate unleaded or diseasal.

Course it always helps to read the f***in label....

Feel your pain and dreading the day that will surely come to me

Uch wee pet! You're human! We make mistakes!8-[

We only have petrol's - damn you oil burners!!!!!

[a1istair]

It's even more confusing when you go over the atlantic and petrol is black and diesel is green!

[BaP]

I have no idea how I missed this...

Ill man!!

[T33OWL]

I put a full tank of Diesel in my cbr600rr4 about 3 weeks after I got it!
In my defence BOTH pumps at the petrol station had black handles but one was for Diesel!

I noticed as I put the pump back (THANKFULLY) , so didn't start it.. Rolled to the side of the petrol station, rang the AA and 2 hrs later I was back on my way with a full tank of PETROL...

I felt a right nob...

[Bluefish]

And a bit lighter in the wallet too i bet.
