  • Diesel contaminated with Unleaded petrol

    I recently filled up just over 100 liters of diesel and i began to experience running rough, stopping, dry starts, with great difficulty. After driving like this for about an hour in total, over 4 occasions at high and low speeds, i drained the tank to find that the 60 liters that i had left was contaminated with unleaded.
    After draining the entire system, i managed to get it running.

    And, NO, i didn't fill it with petrol by accident.

    Has anyone else ever experienced this problem?
    What type of damage can occur?

      That's a great thread William....most entertaining (the last couple of pages that is)...I also knew a bloke who filled up his rod holder with ULP (numerous litres) wonder if it was the same guy.

        Have done the same, except I admit I was the stupid bastard who put the petrol in. So far, have drained the tanks, bled systems, changed both fuel filters ("93 Troopy), and run vehicle. Still not running great, with periods when it seems to not want to run. Have run with tanks open, to allow petrol vapour to dissipate, hoping it will get better. Not starting on nfirst kick, needs to build up revs, is glow plug damaged?
