hey guys

might have a bit of a problem. ran out of petrol the otherr day, so i looked throwh the shed, found a fuel can but dad reckons it was 2-stroke fuel? nice of him to tell me after i put it in. about 20 litres will this be bad? EA multi point

ps yes pics are coming just gotta get my digicam back off my sis who borrowed it

bentles · 05-02-2007, 06:25 PM

bit of smoke but i dont think it will explode, not sure of the lasting damage but i got a mate who ran a corolla on 2 stroke to get rid of it(40litres)

I don't know exactly what effect it will have on your engine, but I can tell you it won't be good. Probably be a good idea to syphon as much of it back out as possible...

just fill it up to the brim with standard fuel before you drive it to far and you should fine and i say should be fine

dont drive it to far without putting the other fuel in .... then take it for a good cruise along a winedy road (spelling) and you should be fine

hope this helps

Simple test : Pull the cord and see if it starts. Nah seriously if it were mine i'd wanna get as much of the 2 stroke out as possible. Im pretty sure just a bit in there wont hurt.

It may damage the CAT, depending on what the blend was (25:1, 50:1 etc), but thats all, just fill it up with PULP. The 2stroke oil will knock out the RON rating of the fuel.

kyro_02 · 05-02-2007, 11:33 PM

just throw in some avgas you'll be fine

eb_razy · 05-02-2007, 11:40 PM

As a couple of others have said, Syphen as much out as you can then fill up with ordinary fuel or maybe some premium.

dansedgli · 06-02-2007, 07:47 PM

well have a bit of a issue!

went to start it up, nothin. just coughs while its turning over, wont start but. had to go to TAFE so i left it for the day.

got home and got dad to hook us up with a jerry of V power. took a bit of the old fuel out and filled it up. sort of runs now, very bad idle, smoke is pouring out and the engine rattels heaps when you put your foot down.

i'm thinking it mite be a good idea to take the fuel tank out and clean it? how do i do that

fill it up with water till it overflows and only fresh water is coming out............then syphon the water out by sucking on the hose

nos_james · 07-02-2007, 08:17 PM

EDXR6T · 07-02-2007, 09:18 PM

DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol wow dont do that, u wont get it all out no matter how good u are at sucking on hoses.

just try and empty the tank as much as possible then fill to brim with premium and go down windy/bumpy roads to stir it round as much as possible!

Trust me, I think he's got that skill down pat!

Diesel has a very low octane rating. Find some avgas to put in there, should even it up.

Marshy79 · 07-02-2007, 10:41 PM

Guys... umm if its deisel... basically a deisel engine works by the fuel exploding as the cyl compresses it (aka detonation)

Now a petrol engine works by the spark exploding the fuel.... detonation is a bad bad thing in a petrol engine.

Id be trying to syphon that deisel out instead of trying to fill the rest of the tank with a good qual fuel.

Damo · 07-02-2007, 10:54 PM

i'd just go do some burnouts until the fuel runs out, then fill it up with premium and go do some more burnouts.

[Tonko] · 07-02-2007, 11:45 PM

about 30L of avgas should see the old EA back into action just get a garden hose and wander over to tullamarine...

Dont let the EPA or anyone dob you in for having a smoky car....

***EDIT*** If your EA was such a weapon as your name suggests, it should be running on AVGAS anyway...

Harro · 08-02-2007, 01:04 AM

dude just disconnect your fuel hose and start crankign the engine. the fuel pump will push it all out

eb91xr6 · 08-02-2007, 01:16 AM
