W204 CDI Drain Tank ?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone advise on how to drain the tank on a wrongly fueled W204 CDI ??

Pump from fuel filter or tank?

Pump it out from the filter, then what I do is put in a litre of 2 stroke oil and fill 'em to the brim with fresh diesel ;)

You replied just as I was typing ;)

Don't ask me how I know that, but needless to say Mels C Class has done 30k miles since and suffered no ill effects ;)

It lubes the Pump and Injectors, instantly just helps in case any Petrol has got up to the Rail, i.e it will have if the Car has been started after mis fuelling.

Also knocks the "edge" off any remaining Petrol in the Tank, which is very dry fuel compared to weasel

You can't get the last remaining fuel out without removing the Tank, some tanks is around 5 litres or so.

Like I said, it had no ill effects on Mels C Class which has covered about 30k miles since it's Petrol incident.

You'll also notice the Car will run a little quieter and pull better, but don't do this all the time ;)
