Have a read of this Misfueling and you can see that depending on vehicle, age, milage, and so on depends on the final outcome.
The key is, that diesel is a lubricant and as such is essential to lubricate all the pumps and injectors. Petrol is a solvent and strips any lubrication off the surfaces it comes into contact with. |
There is no definitive answer
As you say the variables are infinite (almost). Even if I find that the trouble lies with the fuel, which garage ? Googled all the local newspapers where I filled up from, and found no reference to a mis-filled tank in any regional newspapers. So were any of these the cause?
Or was it a local garage that had had a mishap? (And YES that does make sense!
) How many miles before the problem arose?
It would be difficult to lay blame at the door of any fuel retailer, as the possible source of the problem could be so many. Also, after nearly 100K miles, were the injectors, et al, on the way out?
So many questions..... but where is the answer?............
