Triumph Sprint Repair After Wrong Fuel Put In

[@spicy110]

You know what, I have never heard of someone putting diesel in a bike before.

@@RevBombUK I take it that it is the same as with cars, get what you can out brim it with petrol and let it smoke for a few mins?

We had a teacher at school who we nicknamed diesel. We were on school camp and the bus ran out of fuel. Diesel legged it to town, bought a ten litre container, filled it with petrol and legged it back to the bus. He was gone for 2 1/2 hours. When he got back to bus, he popped the filler cover to read the words: "DIESEL ONLY". He poured the petrol out, all over the dirt road we were on, and walked back into town, again. For some reason, it took him 3 hours to get back, the next time. When he got back, he put the 10 litres of diesel in the bus and then had to bleed the injectors. In hindsight, I'm bloody glad he knew how to do that and had a couple of basic tools. We then went back into town, filled the bus up and got fish and chips on the school's credit card. We set the tents up under torch light and were left with the simple instruction of "don't misbehave", as diesel crawled into his tent at about 9.00pm, not to be seen until 8.00 the next morning. For some strange reason, we didn't do as much hiking as we usually did on that camp. Diesel's nickname stuck for the remainder of my years at that school and probably remains today, 40 years later.

I have been riding motorcycles most of my life . How any one can put the wrong fuel in ,is totally beyond me . They must be complete philistines & should have their bikes confiscated in the interest of the bikes future welfare . 😎👍
