depends on how much...if it's a small amount you could almost try to run it out of the system by constantly diluting with 98ron...it'll probably blow black smoke until it clears out, probably have to baby it.

If it's a lot you're best to siphon it out I think rather than take the risk.

edit: when I say 'small amount' i mean TINY.

ouch!

hope it wasn't much....

this killed a mates car when we were teenagers... his mum borrowed it and BANG

i'd try NOT to drive it anywhere :P

So this wont any serious problem to my engine, i also accidentally tried to start the car and then now the car wont start

accidently? lol not good man how much did u put in there?

a little bit over half

i would get it all out of there if the car didnt start should be ok cos they have fule return lines soo flush it out and get a new fuel filter then put 98 octane in and see how u go make sure u empty the fuel lines to

I am curious as to how you accidentally inserted a diesel fuel pump nozzle into the smaller unleaded hole of your fuel tank snorkel.

Also most diesel pumps have a manual trigger that you have to lift or push, after removing the hose from it's location, to start the pump.

And after all that why would you "accidentally" try to start it :).

- Syphon the tank and replace fuel filter

- Fill with 98ron

- Prime the engine 20 times: Turn key to "on" position then back to "off" or "acc" (do not "accidentally" start the car, by turning key all the way to "start")

- Syphon tank and replace fuel filter... again

- Fill with a fresh batch of 98ron (may also pay to pour a bottle of injector cleaner into the tank before filling)

- Prime a few more times

- Then try to start the engine and see what happens

One thing for sure it's going to be an expensive lesson, good luck!

Was that one of those Diesel Ultimate pumps from BP? They really should change the colour of the handles... Ultimate and Diesel Ultimate are both blue. I park up at the diesel one once but it does say Diesel Ultimate on the handle.

I'm also miffed how you managed to fit a diesel nozzle in.....theyre designed differently for the "life challenged" people out there, if you managed to defeat this safety feature you truly are king.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
