- In today's video I buy a new-ish VW Transporter that's only done 3500 miles, it's been filled with petrol and run until it's stopped, can I fix it? How much will it cost to fix?

You may hit problems later. Once the HPFP has had petrol through them they begin to break down. The rely on the diesel as a lubricant, & once they have petrol through them there is no lubrication. They then send brass filings through the system which then knackers the injectors, & you will be back to square one.
Rather than disturbing everything removing the tank, would have been easier to purge the in tank pump via VCDS, yes you won’t get 100% of the petrol out, but if you brim it with diesel won’t do any harm, save all the hassle
JESUS CHRIST DEAN !! At the 21 minute mark in your video. Is that a DVT in your right leg ?? It’s a massive varicose vein 😮Have you had that looked at ? If not you REALLY NEED to have it looked at.
What did you pay for it
did something similar with my mums 04 golf diesel, she filled it with £40 worth of petrol!! towed it back to the house, lifted the rear seat to get to the fuel pump, took that out and used a pump to get the fuel out, filled it with some diesel and first turn of the key it started.. without replacing fuel pump etc... its been running for over 2 years since without issue.. surprisingly tough VW engines
Once i put diesel in a petrol,i realised my mistake and top the tank with petrol. Car run just fine, funny, mpg improved considerably ever since
Half filled my 2.2 transit with petrol before i realised. Toppes it up with diesel and apart from smoking it ran lovely.
DEAN this is 100% true i drove manchester to glasgow in a transit years ago then deliverd and then fueld up at 3AM with petrol full tank . and it was a diesel van i started it and sat there eating a pastie and crisps then it died ,So i cut the pipe off the jet wash machine stuck it in the tank and sucked and i swear it started coming out all over the grid and grass ,Then i ree filled it with diesel ,it started but it wouldnt do over 50mph in 3rd untill i got to preston then boom it went normal ,i parked it in our yard at 9am and went home never heard again .
You’re a braver man, than me Tonto. I’m not sure I would’ve pumped petrol with that oil evacuation pump. But hey, you’ve shown us it didn’t burst into flames 😂😂
About 13 years ago I put about a third of a tank of petrol in my focus, realised what I'd done and topped it right up with diesel and it drove as if nothing had happened 😅
Love your videos man. Thanks for being so educational, and providing excellent content.
This was a great video really like this kind of stuff . Plus you get a nearly new van and as you say you have never had one before so enjoy the work horse . Have seen people do that before and wondered how it's fixed or can be . So I really enjoyed this thanks
Never a dull watch. Really enjoy the randomness of the content. Doesn’t get predictable or boring. Unlike the rest of the channels.
Man I love your channel! Quality repairs and content, no bulls*** straight to the point being a mechanic myself something I would consider doing when I have the money
Oh how I chortled when the tank fell off of the wood, what a plank I thought lol. Cracking video Dean and hopefully the Transporter will give you a decent profit once you sell or raffle it.
You probably covered this off camera but with all of that unburned petrol in the oil, a change of oil and filter may be considered.
Really enjoyed watching the progress through this video and seeing the van fixed in the end. These little short fix videos are quite entertaining. Always impressed with the work you do man 👍
Use to work for a Break down firm in Huntingdon many moons ago and use to love getting Tank drain jobs after hours ,good earners and easy with a fuel Evac unit,nice one dean 👍😉💪
I filled an ASDA home delivery sprinter van to the top full of petrol after an 8 hour shift. Never owned a diesel and just picked up the wrong nozzle. Managed to drive it the store before it began to stutter, and then it dawned on me what I had done. It was repaired within a few days, but my reputation lived on for several months.
