petrol in 3.0 diesel terrano

newbie22 · 24-02-2017, 20:06

Hi guys

Put 20 off litres of petrol in the terrano and then added 30 odd litres of diesel
Runs fine but took half hour to start earlier

I am in the middle of nowhere with the caravan and no tools is there an easy way to drain the fuel tank please

Not sure if it is on all the Teranno's, but my T2 had a drain bolt right in the middle of the bottom of the tank..

Can you get a hose pipe down the filler, try not to drink too much fuel when getting the fuel flowing though. Do you have a pipe on the caravan you could use to do it.

Top Tip: Use a clear pipe.

2nd Top Tip: Stop the flow with your tongue rather than trying to get a finger in there (oo er missus).

Or get the missus to do it whist you press and imaginary button under the bonnet

Seriously though take care, a car is only a car and can be fixed but being in the middle of nowhere with a car that will not start and fuel poisoning is never a good thing.

Good luck mate.

Don't forget that in the T2 tool kit under the rear seats is a pair of pliers, double ended screwdriver and an open ended spanner that fits a good assortment of bits on the car.

Well that is provided someone has not nicked it in the cars past life, or Nissan penny pinched and stopped including it on the later models.
