Throw a decent amount of diesel in it and a little 2 stroke. Go nuts, should be fine after that.

Yep . did the same thing. I was talking to him . coaxing him to make it the whole way home. Drained the tank and into my stash of spare filters and walaah! Ran like a grunty little lux pigger once again. A couple of things I learned outta all this is that 80s/90's Luxers' must be more resistant to this sorta abuse than some of the later rides and, that diesel mixed with petrol is friggin great for kero bath use. I am still using it, haha! Chur.

Wasn't entirely your fault as the attendant filled the car and normally a sticker on the inside of the flap that says diesel

Well. I went to the garage and got things sorted. Thanks for the advice everyone and it's a lesson learned for me.

I haven't pulled both nozzles off to compare them side-by-side, but I thought diesel pump nozzles were narrower, to go with narrower filler pipes in diesel-powered vehicles, thereby meaning you couldn't put a 91/95/96/98 nozzle into a diesel car.

Cool good to hear no damage its bad enough doing it but when the bill runs into thousands it really hurts
