Im a diesel idiot !!!!

<< < (3/3)

paulbaker1954:
At the end of the day it’s 1 litre in 14 so 7% so reckon will be ok from what I have read.

If it runs bad will drain it off but seems to be running fine. One of the benefits of old tech like ours here is that there no fuel pumps, injectors or catalysts to worry about. Modern vehicles are just less tolerant.
 

Will be more careful in future.

K2-K6:
I cant see any practical problem if it runs ok. It'll just pass through with no real effects generally at that level.

Just topping it up as its used should get hack on track with dilution at that level.

iF there's any immediate affect, thats usually cold starting with the mixture less likely to fire competently and possible white smoke evident from diesel not burning in cold combustion chambers.

florence:
I would make sure it doesn't get too hot.  In effect you are running lean as there is less petrol to air.  Once, I put too much two stroke oil in my moped and it got very hot and seized up.  Not helped I imagine by the fact that I would run it flat out all the time.  ;D

Moorey:
If its running OK I wouldn't worry about it but if you are drain the tank and add it back a bit at a time over fill ups diluting even further if you don't  want to dump a tank of fuel
