CLOSED. kerosene in diesel engine.

[silverfire]

Not all gas stations sell Kerosene and if they do, the pump does be Blue and kind ah out of the way...

this one not out of the way...that's what mess me up. I ALWAYS use the same one but I always use the right hand side of it...both of the pumps are diesel on the right side. today there was a big truck blocking up that side so I say lemme use the left side...little did I know that only one was diesel and the other was kerosene and I automatically just pull the kerosene hose cuz it was the only one that was reaching around my SUV.

As for the colour codes...only today I learnt there was such a thing

when I now started driving diesel vehicle, ona couple occasions, I forget, and pull up by de gas pump outta habit..one day I reach as far as swipin mih credit card and grabbin de pump...hardest part was puttin it back and movin de van widout feelin dotish

hARD FOR ME TO NOT FEEL DOTISH

[silverfire]

For those who asking how I can make this mistake. Both pumps or whatever u call them are diesel. I only use the right side of the first one cuz my tank is on the left side of the suv. Today i used the left side and automatically assumed that both hoses on that side was diesel....but as u can see one was kerosene.....for those to be cautious...this is medford on the flyover in chaguanas.

they waste a whole main line spot with a kero pump

:| empty it and put diesel

Seems legit!

[krb4788]

it was 1/4 tank. southern sales said to wreck it and bring it to them I'm sure someone on the outside can drain it but since it's a new engine we wanna be sure

Its under warranty so DO NOT let anyone touch your vehicle. They will void your warranty. As long as the vehicle isn't started and its drained it will be fine.

Please let us know what they charge you. Also what vehicle is it?

You would be surprised the volume of Kero that will sell.

Op in this instance the only thing to worry bout is the warranty.

The engine will be fine.

I've run 100% Kero in a brand new Ranger with no issues.

You could run a deisel additive just to be ultra cautious.

To be safe next time,watch the colour of the nozzle,red for,super white for premium,diesel is black I think and kerosene grey. To be sure check it when you go to the gas station because I'm just saying from memory,but there is a difference.

I filled premium in my van once. 0-$100 so fast....

That pump also used to print out kerosene on the credit card slip when you put diesel. Sure you put kero?

Nothing will happen to your engine it will just clean your injectors

When not absolutely sure it is best to not comment killa.... red is super, white is premium, grey is diesel and blue is kero

Diesel nozzle sometimes us white and sometimes is muddy yellow/gray colour. It's best to look for the sign.

Wat gas station is this?

[silverfire]

For those who wanted to know, it cost $800 to drain and service and change filter and what not. Took very long to drain. Did not go to Southern Sales, we used a diesel engine technician. Thankfully it did not damage the pump.

OP : "My front wheel assembly fell apart!"
SS Rep; " Gosh I want to help you but remember that time you filled kerosene in to the tank? Seems to have voided your warranty"

same thing I was thinking....

Also, $800?

To drain, refill and change some filters?

I hope that included the parts and the fuel...

[silverfire]

Yes it did. As for all the annoying warranty comments, the warranty is over.
