How far did you drive it before it "died" What year Wizard! Need to know what engine it has.

most unlikely outcome will be it somhow recovers when you bleed diesel with loads of flashlube thru it . but its a real slim chance for that.

Don't listen to intrade, yet. If it has the older mechanical injector pump on it it may be able to be saved

you dont need to know you need to tell us what engine its got and best what engine code. if your out of luck and its a cambelt engine and it seezed the pump fullythen it absolut completly nuked your whole engine now with bent valves and seezed solide pump.

On the top of the intake manifold near the front of it, does it have a small black box! Engine code of the vehicles VIN tag also, in all it's more than likely the older type with a mechanical pump, drain ALL the petrol, diesel mix out the the tank, replace the fuel filter and fill with fresh diesel.

And have now found the VIN 7A897170700101597.Does have a Cam belt.Does that mean its dead!

No, try what I said, won't cost much for a filter but you MUST change the filter, nothing to lose.

Drain the tank, bleed the lines, change the filter and refill with diesel. if it starts leaking out the pump or doesn't start, you've knackered it

What about fuel in the fuel lines!
intrade,
Nov 23, 7:21pm
well you need a meachanic to disconnect the fuelinjector pump and fit a clear tube and pump some chemtech or flashlube in to the pump , and befor that he needs to check with fuelpump in and out disconnected if the pump has seezed and if the cambelt has broken or not .

if its all still moveing then you got a chance , needs to be moved by hand on crank so they know the resistance . if it seems fineyou pump with a handpump . fuel lubrication additive in the pump and purge out the petrol,then you put it on a seperate container with clear hoses of diesel and try start it again purgeing the now full of additive lube injector pump . and the injector lines have to be off the injectors so it dont pours any more petrol in the engine that remains in the injector lines. a good mechanic will know all this . then once diesel is on the injectors purged out you can close the nuts off and try start it again.and take it from there . depending on how it runs or not at all .from a seperate clean container of diesel Clean fueltank or.

Do it now.You need to flush petrol out of the injector pump ASAP.

petrol destroyes seals yu also want to empty remove the fuelfilter soonest. if it wont start after you correctly purged the petrol and replaced it with diesel and "additve,if available" well if it dont starts then its a expensive repair. and it will have done damage for sure just how mutch you will know when it runs rough again or not at all.

if it runs again on a seperate fresh container of diesel then you can go and clean out the fueltank and blow out the petrol from fuel lines .
