Mend Peugeot Diesel Petrol Engine

Petrol in Peugeot Diesel Engine?

We have put nearly half a tank of unleaded in our 60 litre tank there was half a tank of Diesel in the car, some people say its fine to mix the two fuels but is this a little too much?

Your advice would be appreciated.

With that amount of petrol you WILL need to drain the tank.

Then fill it full of diesel, start the vehicle (probably get lots of white smelly smoke from the tail pipe).

Leave it to idle for about 10 minutes, then if all is well you are fine from there.

If you find the vehicle has hesitation and flat spots then you'll need to get a new diesel filter as well, but I wouldn't spend the money on that unless you have to.

i once put £52 .00 of petrol into a sprinter i removed the filler pipe and removed it all its the lack of oil in the petrol that causes the damage . the petrol cleaned my deisel engine and it seemed to go a lot faster
