Bought £40's worth of petrol for £20 cus it had a fivers worth of diesel in it. Thought it would be ok?!! Doh!! Me car was running with it but spluttery. Now it won't start! Yeh, muppet i know!
 
Was gonna tell you you'd be able to do it yourself, but since you bought fuel because it was contaminated and cheap i'm guessing your not the sharpest tool in the box so take it to any garage!
Make sure when you get it back you fill it up with the best petrol you can find!
 
better idea, put some two stroke in it to mix it up then why dont ya inflate ya tyres with helium and make a friggin hot air balloon, seriously why would you do that?
 
mate i wouyldnt suggest a serious answer for this fella, really wouldnt......


take it to a garage tell em your a tail, give em a ton of cash to sort it, and never never do it again, fill it up with vpower as you should do, give your ecu a tank to relaise our not trying to kill her and enjoy a awesome car which deserves to be treated correctly and not neccesarily cheaply.

expensive car so cheap doesnt cut it
 
What you reckon then dudes? Drain it or dilute it? It was running on it but nxt mornin wudnt start so maybe diluting it would be enough? Or just be safer to get the stuff the f### out of it?

Could it have damaged anything?

And yeh, learnt me lesson! Darn rite.
 
Drain it all out!!! diesil for diesel cars, petrol for petrol cars lol
someone on here recently filled up with diesel instead of petrol and drove until it clonked out, and once drained and filled up again it worked! he said nothing went wrong! so u might be lucky enough without a massive repair bill.

under the car there is the fuel filter which has push fittings.
if you are able to bridge the fuel pump relay so it sstays on this could pump it out.

BUT


Dont even try this if you are unsure..

You know you have done a really daft thing of course.
 
cordless drill to the tank wait for it to start dripping the put a lit match to it, thats the best way to get rid of the fuel.


should take no more than ten mins to sort the non starting as well
