Thought I'd treat my pick up to a bit of posh diesel and put unleaded on by mistake. Never done it before.

 

1/2 tank in so too much to get away with.

 

Just waiting for fuel doctor to arrive.

 

Swallowed a few glugs of fuel trying to siphon it out without success.

 

What a moron! Sticking to regular from now on!

I did the same thing a few yr back myself fella ...... top respect for owning up . Drain your tank and refill with diesel : ) ....Petrol in a diesel tank will just help to clean the system if drained quickly . Hope it all works out :thumbup:

Have a drink of milk to cancel the petrol if it makes you feel funny.

When I was a kid I drank about a pint trying to get petrol out of my mums car! Ended up having to ring the doc at night and he said to drink three pints of milk to cancel it out. Always handy to know haha :)

Rubber is rubber whether it be on a diesel filter or a petrol one ?
