If you held your elected officials accountable for making sure that you are paid a living wage relative to inflation then it wouldnt be a problem. Unfortunately people love to punch themselves in the face and so when it comes public knowledge that companies are making record profits while their employees struggle to pay for heat for their homes, nothing gets done about it and the same scumbags get voted into office.

@Derek_S
@Derek_S Жыл бұрын
A small amount of the wrong fuel causes few problems if you top the tank up with the correct one. I've made the mistake both ways in the past and simply switching to the correct pump and filling the vehicle was sufficient to eliminate any potential problem. In fact a mechanic I know who had around forty years experience told me that when he was younger, it was quite common to add petrol to diesel tanks to improve cold starting in the winter.

I put petrol in my diesel van and drove it about 40-50 km. The only sign something was wrong was more smoke, less acceleration and hiccups when accelerating. I pumped it out with a pump on a drill, put fresh diesel in it, let it run stationary for 30 mins and drove home. I stil ldrive that van 4 years on with zero problems.

@@vladdracul2379 Nah modern cars have come a long way sure some cars have excess sensor issues but many cars are getting better performance, fuel economy and smoothness and comfort and they last longer as long as you actually take care of them properly. My 2016 Toyota Auris 1.2T is simply amazing compared to the car I had before despite the engine being much smaller, its smoother, its equal in fuel consumption its petrol and my previous car a 2003 VW Golf was Diesel, it accelerates faster and actually has lots of low end Torque just like a diesel. Servicing is slightly more expensive as it runs a more premium oil but its easily made up for by lower VED tax and increased fuel economy. The same rules apply now for the most part as they did 20 years ago more expensive cars cost more to maintain than cheaper cars.

They will mix very well - petrol will act as the solvent to the diesel oil. No different to putting a heavier 2 stroke oil into petrol for your 2 stroke bike/outboard/etc. They are both by products of crude oil and similarly other by products like kerosene will also mix very well, so adding more of the right fuel will reduce the ratio of wrong fuel in. Diesel engines can run on a wide range of fuels because the fuel is injected into a hot chamber and under lots of pressure (compression) which also heats the mixture further aiding ignition. Fun fact, when Rudolf Diesel was inventing the diesel engine, he tried both petrol and kerosene, in addition to lots of other petroleum by-products because crude oil was too thick, so his early engines ran on petrol. More fun fact, jet engines can run on diesel (rather than kerosene) but don't because diesel isn't as well suited to temperature extremes as kerosene.

I remember a co worker of mine accidentally added 25 gallons of gasoline to our diesel equipped bus. 25 is about half a tank, granted it wasnt driven very far after the mistake as this was done at a gas station across the street from our yard and he only realized his mistake after the final price of the fillup seemed too cheap. He started it up rolled it to the shop door, the shop drained the tank and to this day it still has the same fuel system, 150+ thousand miles later she still purrs like a dream. Modern 2018 Freightliner bus too, but corporate machines are built to be as cheap and simple to maintain as legally possible in the US. They are more akin to the simplicity of an older consumer car to save valuable money and time for the commercial companies maintaining them.

Last January I made the same mistake with my 2010 VW Crafter. Drove for 4-5 km, before I noticed black smoke and the car started "kicking". Lucky there was a parking area around. Had to take out 40L of gasoline with a plastic tube using my mouth every 2 litres. Vomited and had the gasoline taste in my mouth for a couple of days. The car was ok, toped what was left in the tank with diesel and after 10-15 tries it finally started. Had to change the fuel filter 2 times and sold the gas for a 3rd of the price to a farmer, but outside of that didn't have a problem with it.

The system was drained, new filter fitted and it ran but kept having to go back to the garage with running issues. Within weeks it had to have a new high pressure fuel pump, all injectors and other bits and bobs. It cost £1000's!

This is actually a variation of what is known as the doomsday argument - if you have something of unknown lifespan, the longer it has lived so far, the longer its expected lifespan starting from now is. So for instance if you have an a radioactive atom, and you don't know its half-life, but it has already existed for a thousand years, that eliminates the possibility that its half-life is 10 years or less, and you would expect it to last hundreds of years longer at least. But if you have an atom that was synthesized 2 seconds ago, there's a good chance its half-life is a year, or a month, or a day, or 30 seconds, and it's far more likely to decay in the near future. The expected lifespan in such a case is always comparable to the time it has existed so far.

I had friends that owned a local petrol station. When people put the wrong fuel into their car, they syphoned/drained it and all was good. They often had a 44 gallon (200 litre) drum full of the drained mix which they gave to me. I would add this as a fraction to my diesel truck and diggers with no problems. The injector pump seals actually liked some petrol as it softened them and improved their sealing, no pump dampness. , i used to put a little petrol into the hydraulic oil if I was delayed in replacing seals, it worked.

When I was a kid, I filled up the car for my folks and it would not run after that. Of course, at 6 years old, I had not idea the difference between water and gasoline (petrol). My folks forgave me one or tow years ago. Only took 50 years...

+Ben Wright I know someone who totaled a brand new 2016 $80,000 Dodge truck by putting gas in it and running it for over 30 miles. Need less to say there was many holes in the manifold and exhaust afterwards, and the engine was ruined to the point where it would cost more to fix it then get a new truck.

While on holiday last year, in Germany, towing our caravan, I managed to put a full tank of petrol into my VW Passat 2.0TDi (2014 plate). I noticed on the return to the campsite (about 7 miles) it started 'stuttering' at low throttle, but seemed OK. BUT the next morning the engine just wouldn't start at all! It was then that I realised my mistake. I was able to get a local garage to drain the tank and flush the fuel system and then fill it up with diesel. It was completely fine afterwards and never let me down or showed any sign of problems since. Jonathan.

Did the same with my 1990 Astra, like in the video just drained it myself and filled with diesel and apart a bit of blue smoke for 30 mils no ill effect. I gradually used the contaminated petrol in my wife's car at a few litres per tankful.

Did the same in Frankfurt many years ago. Drove the car on the autobahn for an hour with the engine no happy. It died on the first light after exiting. Car returned to the renting company: “here is the keys, I parked on the grass in front of the airport”. They charged 250 USD extra for that but I did not lose the flight. Even after taking full insurance coverage from them they charged me extra for the mistake. State of the diesel VW Golf after drinking gas: unknown.

I had the exact experience with my JGC. Fuel Attendant filled it with petrol and I just paid and drove off. Needless to say hardly a kilometer the car had some issues returned to them and they drained and put in diesel. Six months later all sorts of problems occured. Injectors failed (overfueling), pressure pump failed, three glow plugs melted into the cylinders and then there was fuel dillusion and blowby. It was a disaster.

Try again. Gas will dry out the fuel lines, and too much just causes the car to not run since diesels work on compression.
