Accidentally put 20 litres of petrol in the GQ , lucky to make it home and had no idea what was going on till I opened the fuel cap and got that petrol smell .
Immediately filled tank with diesel and changed fuel filter twice , that was maybe 3-4 years ago .
Same same, accidentally topped up to full 1/2 a tank of petrol extra into the old mans 2.4D hilux when I was 18. Bunny hopped like a bastard within the first 5kms until realised my bad. Local old servo had just changed pump colours with the faze out of leaded, well that was my excuse :-) Probably should have read the English or at least had noticed the petrol stink, me fool :-(
Yuck, that sludge looks bad. What happened to the carby, just blocked jets, or did the rubber components swell up?Quote:

Must have all been bloody petrol Utes , bunny hop yeah and I reckon i was lucky the last bit of the trip home was downhill .
the gauze above the float needle blocked up bowl emptied other wise it was fine, i did run some fuel cleaner after trying to rid all the sludge.Quote:

Put it on a truck back to Hervey Bay, drained tank and changed fuel filter and not a problem since.
If I had to replace my ute, I think I would buy a D Max
I saw an old Toyota Coaster bus on the side of the road, burnt out years ago. Apparently the driver filled the tank with petrol, instead of diesel and it caught on fire a few hundred metres up the road.
What about 2 stroke engines?Quote:

Closest relo to Diesel is Kerosene (old school Diesels will happily run on Kero or Aviation Jet Fuel).
We used to put any aircraft fuel drains straight into the power carts.
Going the other way, Allison TurboJet engines will run on Diesel if the hordes are coming over the hill and you are out of Avtur or JetA1
