oh man, you not having much luck are you!! you must be smoking some good ****!!!

lol anyway diesel is like heavy oil so i doubt its gonna do much damage, you have to drain the tank mate, best thing to do is get a tube put it through the hole where fuel goes in and tand then suck on the end of the tube, i.e syphon the diesel and petrol out of your tank.

then fill it up with petrol!

Could be worse petrol in a diesel would kill the engine the way you\'ve done it don\'t worry about the hoses just drain the tank and fill with petrol. If you can get a hose of use the fuel pump to drain the tank if not its a pipe and siphon job

So long as you dilute it well it should be ok, will probably need to change the fuel filter though.

If its an FD there is a drain plug right in the middle of the petrol tank.

I\'d start there and get it out ASAP.

No more central - can\'t miss it.

I know because mine was leaking recently.

jon haines · February 02, 2006, 08:34:06 PM

can you crack off the injector pipes and turn on the igition to prime the pump and push the diesel out without having to put it through the engine, the pump should run for a few seconds each time you turn on the ignition so it would take a few goes but at least it wont go through the motor?

ZAB · February 02, 2006, 08:45:11 PM

sooo many was off doin but am noo good under the bonet off the rex still learnin tink ill just drain it from the tank n fill it.
how bad is it if the desile gets through the rotary ?
wot will happin if i keep tryin to fire it up ?
will the desile keep goin intill it get petrol of will i just :Hammer the engine

Martiny · February 02, 2006, 08:52:34 PM

I doubt it will start on diesel. Once started on petrol, it should run on diesel, though, and you could just fill up the tank and the petrol will dilute the diesel. Then just drive carefully, no boost for a few tanks until its all flushed out.

Martiny · February 02, 2006, 08:54:10 PM

Ohh by the way, if it makes you feel better, I did it on my RX-2 once. I just drained it all into the err, drain!
