diesel fireblade
 

i managed to put £2 of diesel in my blade this morning, so i filled it up with petrol, and it seemed ok, 80 miles later, i filled it up again with petrol, and it still seems ok

i have done about 200 miles since putting it in


should i just leave it? will the diesel mix with the petrol and just smoke a bit?, or should i drain it and replace the feul filter,

yes, i am a tit

Re: diesel fireblade
 

Oh dear!
that was a waste of £2...
if it was my bike I'd leave it. Not sure what a fuel injection bike would think to it though (if anything).
Go fill up with super unleaded and maybe even add a bit of redex or alike and I'd say you'd be fine.


BTW I would have complained to the petrol station for not colour coding the nozzles.

Re: diesel fireblade
 

IIRC, colour coded nozzles are a legal requirement, so it's much more likely to have been an error by the user ;)

Just leave it. A couple of litres won't do any harm.

If you've got this far, it'll be OK.

Don't do it again!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Re: diesel fireblade
 

Run super unleaded from BP/Shell etc for the next few fill ups to clean out the injectors... all will be fine.

Re: diesel fireblade
 

if you have done 200 miles most of it must have worked its way through by now i would have thought lucky escape by the sound of it usally deisel in a petrol engine = none starter but you get away with a bit of petrol in a deisel.
Did it have much affect while you was doing those 200 miles?

Re: diesel fireblade
 

none.

the bike went just as well as normal, although it did smoke a bit
