Disaster of a day!

It's not as if BP Ultimate is that good a fuel anyway! Nightmare story, hope you get it fixed with not too much bother.

Never liked BP much myself - hence my (what was meant to be) splash and dash approach. Like BP even less now!

OUCH!
Expensive f**k up - £400 worth to be more precise. But at least the car is ready I suppose?
Cheers

PS. See some of you on Saturday

******! Chris, what a nightmare.... I understand what you mean, as I almost did the same thing, but a double take at the pump saved me....
What had to be done in the end..... why 400 quid?
At least its back working......

Strip down fuel rail and remove injectors
Remove swirl pot and 3 fuel pumps and drain fuel tank
20 litres S/unleaded to flush fuel system
Ultrasonic cleaning of of injectors
Refueling charge

Total £350 (+ the dreaded VAT)

Essentially, as petrol engine cannot burn diesel (gets worse the lower the compression) the diesel that got into the exhaust caught fire. This has caused some MINOR damage to the burbo bearing but all still within tolerences.
Relieved car still works. See how she performs tomorrow
