How come on some cars the pumps are scrap Vinny? I mean it's just sucking fuel through isn't it? I would of thought it didn't matter if it was petrol or diesel.

the dealers will say its because the pumps are lubricated by the diesel (which it is) but the most people either havent started the car of it has cut out just down the road so it hasnt really had time to do any damage.
I have been told of dealers changing the pump and tank as well - maybe if its a fleet job and they know the hire companys will pay the bill

Going back many years when winter diesel didn't really exist it used to be recommended that diesel cars and vans should be filled up with an 80/20 mix of diesel/petrol to reduce waxing and stop the diesel 'freezing' in winter. On that basis a little bit of petrol in diesel car isn't going to cause much inm the way of problems - it is the full tank and drive away that will.....
