Elfenstar 3rd Gear May 31, 2009 Share May 31, 2009 Just got a message from my friend.. a pump attendant pumped abt 10 litres of diesel into his 3 yrs old suzuki swift..anybody know any complications or wad he should do?? please advise, thanks! If sufficiently diluted, then it will just smoke. If the car can't run, then he/she has no choice but to drain the tank and fuel system and refill with petrol.

Raining Neutral Newbie May 31, 2009 Share May 31, 2009 10 litres is a lot... assuming he have very little petrol inside as he is at the petrol station. dont risk it. get some1 to drain the mixture out and pump fresh petrol inside. and ask the blardy petrol station to compensate your friend. ( make sure he have the evidence ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear May 31, 2009 Share May 31, 2009 Drain and flush the whole fuel system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrynadz 5th Gear June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 diesel pump noozle is bigger than petrol how to fit unless swift dun follow proper size opening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 He should note down the date & time it happened. Notify the kiosk person in-charge, note down his name & IC and the pump attendant's. Take out a piece of paper and write a declaration that they will be liable and all checks & repairs bills they will be responsible. Call a tow truck tow back to workshop and flush out the diesel, thoroughly flush the fuel system to prevent contamination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfinger Neutral Newbie June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 (edited) Confirm Diesel Nozzlle diameter is bigger then Unleaded petrol. Even Leaded Petrol Nozzle is bigger then Unleaded ones. Modern cars are fitted with a smaller size nozzle inlet so that only UL petrol can fill in from the pump. Even my 1995 Punky Nissan March is fitted with this feature. Unless the Diesel is filled in to the car without having the nozzle fully inserted to the Petrol inlet. Edited June 1, 2009 by Godfinger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laserjet Neutral Newbie June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 Only few months ago, the pump attendant used a funnel to pump diesel into my company's Toyota Liteace (Petrol). They are real innovative. Good thing it was only $10. At first cannot start. Then our driver topped it full with petrol. After that, there was no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 (edited) that's why you should always pump the petrol yourself. just ask the uncle to wipe your glass. best to flush system - not too difficult job. Edited June 1, 2009 by Kyojin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
So_nice 6th Gear June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 that's why you should always pump the petrol yourself. just ask the uncle to wipe your glass. best to flush system - not too difficult job. i agreed. DIY is the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
So_nice 6th Gear June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 actually i quite curious, is the diesel nozzle able to be shoved into old cars like starlet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amortifiedpenguin Clutched June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 epic win, pump attendant trying to save money for you guys. if your friend pumped full tank of diesel and made it home probably he's s**tting you. if it really works let us know the result, increase performance, engine smoother etc? old SS running 1.3L suzuki engine right? if it works i'll switch to diesel too. lol.
