[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 579411, member: 9124"] No names mentioned, but it dose happen! If you stuff up and put petrol into your deisel.... DO NOT EVEN START IT FOR ONE SECOND! Don't even put the key into ignition to roll it away from the pump ! If your vehicle is fitted with an electric fuel pump, this will start circulating fuel from the tank up to the engine, and unused fuel will return to to the tank. Even when not running! Contaminating the fuel lines. Find the fuel pump fuse and remove it. Generally in the engine bay with main fuses. After removing it, the ignition can be turned on to accessories etc, without starting the electric fuel pump if fitted. Don't expect your tow truck driver to know of this when he jumps in and uses the key to unlock the steering wheel. $300 TO $ 400 mistake just for a basic drain. Don't turn it into a big buck stuff up! [/QUOTE]
