Hi all,My dad has managed to put £20 quid (about 13 litres) of sainsburys super unleaded in my brothers berlingo van 1.9d (think its a dw8). Will he be ok just to brim it full of diesel and dilute it? ________________________________________ www.eastcoastmodified.orgE46 318i tourer SE - Dog Car/Work horse 306 Gti - Track Project |

Probably not, NoDon't drive the van, syphon as much out as possible and then brim with Diesel. Or get AA man, or RAC out to pull your trousers down. Costly either way ________________________________________ Team: Moonstone GTI-6™Team: ian7675 wrote: Remember....a 6 isn't just a car, it's a part time job  |

If you want to be thorough, take the pump out and syphon it.Depending how much room is left for diesel, say half a tank i'd be inclined to brim it with derv and drive on til i've used a quarter tank and brim it again and repeat. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

as its a mechanical one not commonrail, just fill it right up.there's no pump in the tank, and IIRC its a 70 litre tank. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It will run a bit lumpy and be a bugger to start but once burnt off will be ok.Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Brim it up, burn off a quarter and then brim again. It will be fine.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
