how can i remove the petrol from the tank ofmy escort van? cheers

 

how much? i put about 3 quid in by mistake once, put a tenners derv in to dilute and it was fine. just take the feed pipe off the fuel rail and keep pumping the plunger, or take the pipe off the tank and drain it.

 

dont bother,...

just brim it with diesel,...will be ok...


unless you already brimmed it with petrol.....mong,..lol...

in that case just undo the fuel pipe from botom of tank, into bucket or similar, then brim it with diesel

 

hahahhaa paul you complete FOOL

 

remove the pipe and let it all come out
diesel needs lubrication so if you put petrol in it it fucks this up
on newer motors even the sniff of petrol can cause huge amounts of damage to the fuel system so better to have to fork out a few quid now than a few hundred later on

 

fool? who's that coming from? lol

 

bloody pump handle was black and stuck £25 worth of ultimate in started to get a little blue smoke?

 

Pikey

 

just turning the ignition on can fuck the fuel pump when it primes! Get as much of the fuel out of the tank as possible, then as said, brim it with diesel

 

I would just feel it with diesel, some petrol in diesel will do no harm.
My old TDi Golf failed its NCT ( the irish MOT) because of emmissions,
put a fiver of petrol in 15 quids woth of diesel and it passed.

If you live in a fuck off cold area (Norway or somewhere) it can help to stop the diesel from freezing, or so I've been told, maybe wrong

 

the actual handle
or the cover ?

 

the handle of the pump.

 

aint they all tho
the coloured part is just a plastic sleeve above the main handle

 

i thought all diesel pumps were black and unleaded wer mostly green? prob wrong tho lol

 

that aside
have u got it sorted ?

 

you realise you can get BP ultimate diesel don't you?
you didn't put that in did you?

 

paul u do make me laugh.

i can just imagine how many swear words came out of u when u realised what u done. and i bet that was all aimed at bp. lol

did u get it sorted yet?

 

my apprentice put 20 quids worth in a transit once filled it with diesle and it was fine after a week kept staling for a while at junctions ,so every time a quater tank was used i topped it up so it was getting diluted each time

 

10 quid says he did

 

If it has no cat it will be fine, I did this but with £20 in my escort diesel, and it smoked a bit power went up and down and after two full tanks of diesel was perfectly ok, took pump along to a CAV centre where freind works and he says does not harm pump at all, and as he pointed out it is a common trick to put some in artics during winter to stave off fuel freeze.
tabetha

 

thats what i thought idput in till i had looked at the reciept

 

all sorted, reallywasn't feeling dropping the tank as trying to sythen it with a hose was just making me high lol because i couldnt do it so i got a mobile mechanic and he pumped it out for £65 and got it up and running again, which sounded alot easier than anytrhing else

 

u could of just syphoned it out ur self.
parked over a drain or something

at least its working now

 

fag anyone ?

 

i triedwith a hoase butim guessing it had one of those valve things that stops you syphoning it as all i was getting was fumes and just made me light headed inthe end lol and i really couldn be bothered to work on me van for£65 its easier to pay someone than to drop the tank etc
