Well 2 days ago I decided that for some reason i would desiel in my rx instead of optimax........what a bell end.........well after waitin for 3 hours to be picked up by the RAC i finally got the car to DS Engineering in Kent. Cant really say enough about Steve and his guys they are fantastic, took it in with no notice sorted it and back the next day for not alot of money. Definately recomend them..........unlike puttin Desiel in your FD.....
Please feel free to take the pi**
Cheers Jay...:wave
Doh
Not sure I could post this up and admit it :p
Although, I have often started putting fuel in the car and all of a sudden have the feeling that im putting in the wrong stuff.
Glad the cars sorted.
that was clever,we dont need to take the p**s,
i bet u felt a right nob:rollin
Recently, a friend hired a Ferrari 575m for the weekend, and guess what he did... :rollin
Tried to blag it and say it was my missus who did it...... but had to come clean without doubt the daftest thing i\'ve ever done....and yes i did feel a knob......not literally
Cheers Jay...:wave
Oh no!!:eek:
Well at least you got it sorted before trying to run full boost! That wouldn\'t of been funny...
Glad to hear all well now tho! I kinda know what you mean tho as theres an Ultimate Diesel aswell!! Lucky it has a blue background which made me look twice... (doh! what am I admitting to here)!:rollin
well your not alone, last year another member (large) did this, luckily enough he had only just started it so mixed it with petrol, and after a couple of days of choking everyone in his fumes, it was ok.
What about running 4 star in your FD? As it has a lead replacement anyway now??
:o
I wasnt going to admit to this, however now that you have i will :D one my wy to getting the car mapped i did the same thing, i couldnt find a shell garage on the way down so i thought i would use ultimate and fill it with optimax at the shell before WGT, you can imagine my embaressment phoning pip to tell him i was going to be late as i had £30 quids of fecking ultimate diesel in it! Give pip his due, i was 4 hours late as i had to get the AA to take me to a garage and get it drained and he still mapped it.
I did however have to endur the "so your the guy with the diesel rotary" comments from the mechanics as i buried my head into a magazine in Pips office.. :rollin
I always thought the diesel pump nozzles were larger so they didn\'t fit and so stopped this sort of thing
So did i! :o
Done that in my RX-2 once.
Just took the drain plug out the tank, refilled with proper.
As you know cars over ten years old only need to pass MOT, so will have full size filler neck. Reducing the size of the filler neck is part of the SVA requirements.
Perhaps fitting a filler neck reducer might be a good idea after all. I am sure we all think I would never do that!!!
They fitted one when they did my SVA
My old (Ash\'s new) FC had a reduced filler neck, but maybe this is because it\'s a UK car?
Apparently Jay did this at an esso station, and i have been told all esso garages have changed their pump handles to blue FOR ALL fuels, so it\'s an understandable mistake.
