What can should I do? help. I started the car for about .3 mile ran fine. Then stopped and when started again she hiccuped - stopped straight away realised the mistake? Help. Best way forward pls?

 

I would not worry about it. Just top it up with diesel if it is not full already. If it is full then siphon some gas out and top it up with diesel. Diesel car can take gas or a combination thereof. Gas engine cannot take diesel.

Good luck.

 

I'm not sure about the newer diesels, but yeah-- there used to be information in the '80's VW and MB diesel owners manuals about blending gas in (up to 25-30%) to keep them running in colder weather..

You don't mention how much you've added..

The lubricity of gas is about zilch.. I wouldn't do it often-- but if you get it running, by diluting with diesel (or Kerosene)-- you may want to consider adding motor oil or transmission fluid to your fuel, to lubricate your pump..

Again-- I'm basing this on OLDER Indirect diesels-- this may be REALLY a bad idea with the newer direct inject or common rail designs.. I know nothing about them, except theory of operation...

and yeah-- diesel is a real "buzz killer" in a gas engine, of ANY design I'm aware of.. Maybe rotary engines can compress the fuel enough to explode it.. Dunno..
