Please Help ! Diesel fuel in tank

[phar2slo]

You can always jump start the bike of a car battery or Ute if have one if them.

Just don't have the motor running.

I think you should invest in a battery charger too.

I guess you couldnt complain till you swallowed!!!

I spit most of it out. I thought it was one of those energy drinks but realized quickly it was not. It reads on the bottle fatal if swallowed. I was a bit sick and concerned.

My dad owned a marina when I was a kid, they used to put gas in a pop bottle to prime the carburetor when they were working on boats. Had my stomach pumped twice from picking up a pop bottle and chugging it as a toddler.

My beautiful new red / cream 2008 Classic got abt 5 litres in its tank, making a 50/50 mix.

Had to nurse her a short distance home.

Next day, syphoned out the tank, 10 L of 98 ron fuel in, and tried to run her clean.

Masses of white smoke, and then on increasing the revs to clear her, backfiring and knocking.

Immediately shut down.

Now what? Full system / lines clean? New plugs too? New filters ? Fresh oil?

Just had a $ 400 service too :-(

Hi, I accidentally filled both our bikes to the top once with diesel. I just siphoned it out, refilled and siphoned that out . The bikes ran but not perfect, I changed the plugs and after that tank was half gone I refilled and all was good. We were on vacation crossing into the Florida keys.

TWICE????? Once on Octane boost is plenty for me.

Hey Joesmoe does your electric car put off a smell? I followed a Chevy Volt (as far I could tolerate) in northern Georgia awhile back and it had an electric smell. Tad off topic.

Somehow that reminds me of the time I was transferring my 1971 Jaguar Series III E-Type from Boston to Texas. Somewhere around NJ, it developed an oil leak right on top of the exhaust. The leak wasn't too much at first, but got progressively worse, where I was putting a gallon of oil in the car with every fuel stop. There were clouds of smoke coming out the back, and people would pass us with their windshield wipers going and we could see the oil smears as some would curse us, pointing to the rear and perhaps suggesting we should stop and get it repaired. Wow, what a memory.

So you followed a VOLT -- which is an ICE and so has emissions. Ours is a BOLT, and I have never noticed anything olfactory, though it does produce some heat.

Thanks for asking.

That car would be worth a few dollars now....
