    Yeah, I wondered how detergent would remove oil. As far as I'm aware most degreasers are not good on aluminium so that should remove them from the equation, I guess. Any ideas on turps or kero? But I guess they're more expensive than petrol these days.
    Thanks B92

    I can't blame my kids. I just put 80l of unleaded in my Td5 and drove it for 20km before realising. Managed to drain about 65l. Trying to get myself revved up to replace the filter and clean out the lines on a cold Melbourne evening in the driveway.

    I feel for you. Firstly, you need to find enoughcontainers and then get to draining it and then try to filter it into another car. I've done everything, blown everything out but can't manually prime the lift pump, filter and injector pump. Have been at it for hours. Giving up for the night, try again tomorrow.

    Thanks to all who helped, managed to get started today. As Blknight (Dave)suggested I emptied the water separator near the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filter & used the compressor to blow out all the lines. Then I tried to prime the fuel pump manually but after hours just couldn't get it to work; even connected a tube and tried sucking it along the line. Eventually replaced the fuel pump with another std mechanical one (but will install the facet pump in the near future). Still couldn't really get fuel to the filter manually so took off the filter and turned over the motor till fuel came out (had to jump battery to another car as was starting to slow down). When the filter was full, I let off the injection pump bleed/ inlet bango connection, then nipped it up and disconnected the injector connnections till I was sure only diesel was coming out and upon reconnection PRESTO! - away we went Apart from wasting way too many hours on this at least I learnt a lot about the fuel system. Also got the son to work on it with me which was good. Thanks again to all of you who put forth suggestions.
    cheers Gerald
