popped in to the esso garage and put petrol in my diesel golf the pumps all look the same has any body come accross this in the esso garages

 

Not in esso, but definitly in BP. The ultimate petrol looks the same as the diesel.

 

The pumps say diesel on them do they not?
Schoolboy error in my oppinion especialy 'filling' it as the smell alone should have alerted you long before you finished filling it

 

The morale of this story is......




































run your car on red diesel

 

At least you didn't do it the other way round, that would be real expensive!!

Have you drained the tank out yet???

 

no i have filled it up with diesel as i only put Ł10 in it as i smelt petrol it seems to be okay

 

should go better now

 

erm no...

petrol in diesel is the expensive one...

if you've rub your engine you might of damaged it

Alex

 

was going to say, petrol in diesel is the expensive one!

 

OOOPS double post

 

what a stupid mistake to make

ill NEVER forget the day that i filled my cossie with ultimate diesel

infact JUST 3 DAYS AGO i realised it wasnt actually my fault either


FUCKING JIM WAS THE ONE WHO DROVE TO THE FUCKING PUMP


i just og out the passenger seat and went round to fill it up and then paied my 40 quid,,,,,,,,,,,, what a night that was i tell thee


when i phoned BP to complain they REEFUSED to pay me my 40 quid back as it was MY mistake,,,,,,,, even though its a common problem with there fuels there


BUT they offered to pay for any damage and also pay for the draining of the fuel


so i got just over 800 quid for the damage to my fuel pump, injectors and draining the tank


i seriously only called up for my 40 quid back too

 

one of my lads put 20quid of petrol in one of the transits
I shot another 30 quid diesle on top and it was ok ,allthough it did cut out at junctions for a few days , just every quater of a tank shot more diesle in it

 

didn't you run your cossy outa oil ginge? now THAT is a silly mistake

 

yeah that did happen to,,,,,, was when i first got it, never checked the oil for over a month and it had fook all in there due to various leaks in the car


but and this if NO bollock,,,,,,,,, ive still got the crank and bearings and theres NO wear on em at all,,,,,,,,, just 3 bend/twisted rods


so cant have been that silly

the engine was only taken apart to change the little ends due to the little end rattle,,,,,,,,,,,,, that wa the rods that caused that and my pistons had NO det on em WHAT SO EVER !!!!!!!!!!

just the head was past the point of skimming so i bought another engine to get the car back on the road quicker,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, seriously that was the reason for it

 

i almost put bp super diesel in mine i took the nozzle off and went to put it when i realized they should do summot about it really
