new engine

the injectors would be shot and the pistons (Assuming you ran it hard enough and long enough) would be insideoutymelty

insideoutymelty

That's a technical term I take it...!:D

[Blknight.aus]

yes. The terminology "insideoutymelty" is used as an adjective to elaborate on the cause of an engine failure that has been identified to the owner/operator as "ohyeahnahhshesrootedmate" The term "insideoutymelty" is usually used in response to the question "whaddyameanrooted?" as portion of a statement relating to any or all but not limited to the following sub components of an engine


the blower
a crank shaft
a connecting rod
a piston
a pre combustion chamber
an Injector


The complete phrase including "insideoutymelty" is usually used to indicate the specific failed component whose failure methodology is typically excessive thermal loading broaching the integrity of the named sub component/assembly which has then experienced structural failure allowing the item to seperate into sub parts in an other than design specified manner.

below is an example of a conversation showing appropriate usage of the descriptor "insideoutymelty"

"sumthinswrongwithmedonkcanyafixit?"
"ohyeahnahhshesrootedmate"
"whaddyameanrooted?"
"yapistonsmatetheyreall insideoutymelty"

You definately have a way with words Dave:D

Yeah! I nearly had the experience Dave describes. Caught myself putting some unleaded into my D2!! Had to have 60L of diesel drained and the unleaded I'd just put in. I didn't run it luckily! B----y pump was "out to the side" of the other pumps, like how a diesel one usually is - lucky I smelt it, but I had already put too much in to risk a run.
Interestingly enough, my GF's dad who drives a truck in Finland puts up to around 10% unleaded in the diesel in winter, when it's -20c here I might risk it!

Another one I am embarrased to admit; let's just say dont keep windscreen washer detergent with your diesel fuel additive... :) Anyway I'm sure it cleaned her out!

I suspect that the TD5 with its unit injectors wouldn't suffer the same immediate effects as an engine with a high pressure pump, as the unit injectors are lubricated by engine oil rather than the fuel. How long the injector tips would last is another matter.

I did once, (late at night) put about 8 litres of premium unleaded in my D1 TDi before I realised. Only time I've done that in 25 yrs of driving diesels!

I think it ran better after that "clean out" but I wouldn't recommend it.

not quite...

the plunger cap is lubricated by engine oil everything else in the injectors is lubricated by 75psiish dieso.

in effect you have 1 injector pump on top of one injector multiplied by 5 and then by somehting line $1500 a piece.

And here was me on another thread asking questions about why a D4 has a mis-fuelling device and what the heck that was.

My problem is when I have a hire car (when I fly out on leave) I have to remember NOT to put diesel in it.

You been thinking about what to put in your car the next time you run out of fuel Nic....didn't the two stroke oil work too well last time??:D
