My lad has recently bought a 90 HDi estate, looking through a pile of receipts today I came across one for an insurance job. Seems someone had put petrol in instead of diesel. Bill total £2226.46.
The whole fuel system has been replaced top to toe. Bet you dont do it twice.

Does it say how many litre's were put in so that you can break it down
to cost per litre

Insurance job?

I thought if you miss-fuelled you're on your own..........

That job used to be the recommended fix, replace the full monty - pumps, injectors, the lot. Now though it's a case of drain, new filter and refill and hope for the best

Even with the scandalous and totally unjustifiable robbin' theivin' amount charged for diesel as opposed to petrol, it's not going to be economical, puggy

Oh, is Diesel a bit more expensive, I hadn't noticed

26.9 litres.

And yes it was owned by a woman.

ive nearly put petrol in diesel cars twice,

sometimes i forget the car is diesel, aspose there not as noisey as they used to be so, theres not much reminders

My Dad put Diesel into his Ford Onion 1.6EFi years ago, instead of stopping and sorting it out properly he continued to plod the thing around for another hour or so

It recovered, I even bought it off him a few years later, but I'm not sure it really helped the injectors/valve seats

got lucky there then.

normaly its loads of black smoke loss of power then game over

mate of mine put about 10 litres of petrol in his 306dt.so he brimmed it with diesel and just carried on running it (the car was a shed)smoked no end for about 2 weeks, but still ran. them xud's are like ariston fridges
they go ariston and on and on
