2.0 D4D Misfuel

[paintpot]

Hi guys just put a tenners worth or unleaded in a empty tank :-( (low fuel warning just came on) then brimmed the tank diesel. All seems ok at mo driven for 50 miles without so much as a cough. Hopefully will start when cold fingers X. Any body know of an additive to help , Has any body else had experience of a mis fuel with this engine. Are they tollerant to a drop of unleaded

You will be fine. A tenners worth is about 7 litres you have then put over 40 liters of diesel in.

The diesel you have put in is more than enough to keep the pump lubricated.

If in doubt pay a garage to remove it and refill with pure diesel.

I would not bother but its not my car.

By the way this happened to us. My wife put ten pounds of petrol in and ran the car 30 miles to our house where it promptly cut out I then filled it with diesel and it ran fine.

We then ran it for a further 20k with no problem till we traded it.

Petrol and new CR diesels are a big no no, as you`ve only got a couple gallons in a full tank of diesel it would be a good idea to put in half a litre of two stroke oil to add lubrication.

I dont think you'll have to much of a problem with this mate! as long as you try and get as much heavy oil in the tank, you'll be sound
