Wrong fule in my trasit connect!

Postby deanoplumber » Sat Nov 18, 2017 11:38 pm

Hi, just put £15 worth of petrol in my van!
The fule light was on and I drove about 30 miles before I realised!

It's the 220 tdci engine and has only done 75000 miles!

The van didn't come to a haunt when I was driving it (it never missed a beat to be honest) an I started it up 3 times before I realised what I'd done!
I only realised what I'd done when I went to start it the 4th time and it was just turning over and wouldn't start.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Have I burgered it?

Only had the van a month so I'm a bit gutted.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Dont crank it over again, remove filter and chuck it, remove lines from filter to pump and flush them out, get a hand or electric pump on the fuel line into the filter and suck out ALL the fuel that in the tank, new filter, fill it with fresh DIESEL, fit it, fill tank with fresh diesel, loosen the high pressure pipes on the injectors, STAND WELL CLEAR, OR SHUT THE BONNET crank it over a few times, tighten high pressure pipes then try and start it.
If your lucky the petrol has not ripped the guts out of the high pressure pump

good luck
