Re: NEWSFLASH!! ~ Not a tractor!

So close to doing that so many times.

My car's a diesel and so it only takes a moment to get the wrong hose out.

What was the damage?

Thumbs up Re: NEWSFLASH!! ~ Not a tractor!

Ok here we go.....

Bike ok and goes as well as before i believe.

What happened.....

1/2 Tank of diesel £10
RAC rescue £71.69 (not standard vehicle to recover!)
Tank drain and test £ 3hrs labour at Preston HD
Not doing it again £F**King priceless!

as for the dealership cleaned out and injector cleaner through a few litres of fuel and a test run then another few litres of fuel, all foc. (just labour)

Recommend a new set of plugs and air filter soonish.

So leasons learned
1. Preston HD good dealership (almost level headed)
2. DIY for anyone who does it in future!

3. DO NOT RUN TRACTORS ON DIESEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
