Diesels don't like unleaded.

you could always use it little by little to winterise your diesel.

Find a local rural fire brigade and donate it to them, they use a diesel /petrol mix in their fire lighters that they use in country areas when doing controlled burns and back burning.

Gooday,
Yes have had the same unhappy experience approx 18 Mths ago in Esperance WA, only discovered when i went to pay, FULL tank.
Pushed it off driveway, Jeep 2.7L Diesel 2003, no drain plug, cannot get siphon hose into tank, tried undoing a pipe, no joy, getting at it like getting into Guantanamo Bay.
Finally after 2 hours, Sat PM , Jeep assist sent tilt tray, loaded on back, took us back to to Caravan Park, unload, sat & sulked till dark. Next morning tried to rent car for day, Fathers Day, only one place out of 3 returned message I left at 8-30 am, rang back after an hour, finally came with EB Falcon ex Taxi from local "Arthur Daly", at 11-00am, good for age, only 650,000km on clock, did touring for rest of day. Next morning Tilt Tray returns at 7-00 am, took it to 4wd shop, went there aftewards, they had to pull tow bar & rear panel off to remove fuel tank to drain, finished job by lunchtime, great bunch of blokes, $150-00 for tilt tray travels, $450 for tank operation, plus $104 of super unleaded wich I donated to Esp 4WD.
Took me months to get over my stupidity, now really double check before I put the nozzle in the tank.
Still love Esperance, Mortimers the best Hardware Store you could find.

Cheers,

Add about 33% old sump oil and you should have enough camp fire lighting fluid for the next 50 years :)

Yes mate I too had the pleasure, I think it was Munderoo servo' last one at the start of the Nullabor was cheap as so pulled up alongside a Jeep {wonder if it was you LOL } clocked the BIO on the tank thinking it was bio diesel add to that a 4By filling up as well and theres me filling both tanks to the brim, it was only when I went to pay the girl said {thankfully} you do realise thats petrol !!! 45 degree heat and my Mrs scowling at me, even the dog made me feel like a dork, but now its look twice fill once hahaha,

I haven't done it yet (touch wood). What happens if you drive off without realising what you've done? Has anyone done that?

I saw a bloke in a nice 80 series T/D drive in at Parkes and proceed to fill up. I didn't take much notice and was chatting away to him when I noticed the unleaded hose in his hand. Boy was he fuming......"bloody servos" he said, "don't know why they put the two fuels at the same bowser, that's the second time I've done this" luckily for him he hadn't started filling the smaller second tank and was able to still drive until he could find a spot to dump the main tank of unleaded. I could'nt stop laughing to myself at his attempt to blame someone else for his actions.

I don't know, but I would have thought small amounts of your "special blend" in an unleaded vehicle would be OK??? (little bits each tankfull). Maybe someone with knowledge on this could verify if this is the case or not.

Cheers, Trevor.

Royce, you don't say if you have a petrol vehicle but it could add as upper cylinder lubricant at the rate of part of a jerry can per tank full. The chainsaw doesn't run too well as you already found, but I reckon it needs more dilution to work well.

We had an employee fill a tractor tank with 200 litres of petrol once. Sent him back to Europe to wreck engines there.

any one noticed that the nozzles at caltex servos for diesal is wrongly colour coded.......ie it doesnt match the colour coding on the bowser

add some more oil to it and feed it to a 2 stroke mower or boat

I drove the GQ home from Ferntree gully road and springy road one day, couldnt understand why the fuel was so cheap until I looked and some sperm had changed all the nozzles roud on the pump - it was 3ish am, and was going for over 24hrs at work already..

ended up with bit more than 50% petrol in it, and fairly cruised home very slowly... dumped it out the next morning, and rolled into the servo.. didnt even change filters.

had no bad effects, its still going now!

Not half as much fun as seeing a Petrol Car with Dieso in it.... boy do they blow smoke. Witness the after affects of some poor lass who put Diesel in a Japanese lunchbox at a servo one day.... don't think the engine was worth much after that....
