mumof4 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 wouldnt know, never tried one to see if it fit. Quote
me myself and I Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Would it not be the case that you could drain as much as possible out fill upp with Diesel and run it for a few miles then top up again drive for a few miles top up again for a few times until basically the petrol is "diluted" by diesel till it runs out.Just as a matter of interest on my 4x4 I had to change the fuel tank and there was a drain plug on the bottom of the tank making it v easy to drain.Is there not one on the Galaxy?

mumof4 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 i think........the petrol would have to be very dilute, and in Pals case he brimmed the tank, which is about 70 litres or so., another member put 40 in.. hey girls..so far its just the lads that have done it....wonder if they are blonde?? :ph34r: Quote
mk2vr6 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Alledgedly Black Ones are bigger and don't fit in the hole. not anymore! that's one reason why this problem occurs! since the majority of the population are ageing prematurely and buying tdi cars and whittling on about their mpg and weak bladders the manufacturers reduced the size of the filler nozzles on their cars to move away from the big truck stigma attached to diesel, well that and oncoming onset of early Alzheimer's that affects most tdi owners :ph34r: Quote
big_kev Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I am sure I read some where that it is still legal to beat a woman up as long as you limit it to no more than 10 blows...! You will receive my slap at the next oppurtunity....... :ph34r: Quote
sanjsanj Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) square nozzle for petrol, triangle nozzle for diesel (obviously making sure they don't fit into each other)and new cars to come with the relevent shape fuel filler hole. Now thats how you solve a problem! Edited November 7, 2007 by sanjsanj Quote

galaxytony Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 i done this once a few years ago when bp changed the colour of their pumps i put in bp ultimate which had the same colour handle as ultimate diesel i had been to manchester when i worked for sky tv early start at around 4 in the morning i was on my way back to essex coming down the m1 very tired and stopped at the services and filled up with what i thought was diesel on a diesel card i contacted bp customer services and they agreed to foot the bill for a drain and filter as the pumps were not clearly labled thats why they put those big labels on the handles alsothe attendant in the station didnt pick up the fact that i had filled with petrol and was paying with a diesel card i got about 10 miles down the m1 when i conked out the reason your car conked out so quick is that the diesel floats on top of petrol so when the car was stationary the petrol went to the bottom of the tank and got sucked up first Quote
