diesel is petrol make white smoke and not much else!


Diesel is a lubricating fuel... the high pressure fuel pump NEEDS the lubrication of diesel becuase it is design to run very small tollereances. With petrol there instead of diesel the pump will chew itself to bits and send swarf all round the fuel system.

If you run it till it stops you need:

New high pressure pump
New fuel lines
New fuel filter
New fuel tank

often new injectgors too!




what you think I dont know this

I remember diesil fitters USED to put a couple of gallons of petrol into the diesil fleet trucks/vans tanks during the winter periods to help stop the diesil freezing up and also said it would also clean the injectors!
