O/T, but can anyone here tell me the exact consequences of putting about 1/2 a tank of petrol in the tank of a diesel engine and running it? I know it can’t be good!
A witch-hunt is going on over this at work. Fortunately, my diary proves I have an alibi
I have my doubts that the petrol went into the tank, as that engine has been running rough for far longer than when the petrol was purchased. I think someone has simply been stealing petrol…
You mean, the half-filled the diesel tank with petrol? 50:50 diesel/petrol, in other words.
If they did that, I very much doubt the engine would be running at all, and if it was it would be a lot worse than just “rough”.
Has it been drained, flushed and refilled with diesel?
Love Van since way back.
Have you tried pissing in the tank? Sometimes that will work.
Yep, 50/50 diesel and petrol and it was still running ok, with the occasional miss, a week later. I smell bullshit!
I believe it is the dealer making up a bullshit story to get out out of paying for warrantee repairs.
The mystery petrol on the fuel account is another matter…

Shaping up to be a real whodunit!
