A Christmas laugh for you
My friend recently bought a 2 year old, low mileage, largish diesel estate Mercedes. Sure it's in nice condition, he asked me to go for a ride in it. Bashed my head on the door frame and my knees on the dash as I got it, found that I was sitting quite low. Not a good start. Found the engine noisy, the car too wide and the ride bumpy. Of course I could not tell him any of this.
Got into my Volvo 340 GL and drove off, thinking this is more like it, quieter, more comfortable, not so bumpy. Went to fill with petrol as nearly empty, filled the tank. Drove out of the petrol station, down the main road and faithful old Volvo, misfired a little. Thought crap petrol, but then it got much worse. Then the penny dropped, filled up with diesel! Oh dear, can I make it the couple of miles home? just about did, engine misfiring and pinking a lot. Silly billy, never done this before in well over 40 years of driving. Have just bought this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272063486251 with the thought of pumping out the diesel. Any suggestions of the easiest way to do this?
