i was told a few years ago that a pint of petrol in your tank b4 mot is supposed to help get your emmision down. dont no if it works or not Confused

err It'll get the emissions down, but you may be pinking a litte !!!

A freinds wife filled his 06 plate diesel landy with petrol the other week... The engine managment went bizerk, so drained the tank, refilled with diesel, and sold it.

The loss he made on the landy was nothing compaired to the potential cost in running a 20 - 1 <> engine on 10 - 1 petrol!!

She's going to be doing the dishes for several more months I think!!!

I think this dodge was ok for earlier type diesels, but not recommended for newer generation, ecu controlled engines.

I filled my old Escort 1.8D van a few years back with petrol... luckily it just chugged then stopped. I have heard some horror stories of engines goine BANG but with up to 10-20% mix (well mixed) it should be fine.
