I bought a 2000 golf 2 door. Couldn't get it to run right off. Funny ran for a bit after I changed fuel filter and then cut off. Hummm. Rand down to Harborfreight for a compression tester and Mittyvac and some odds and ends. Came back and vacuumed the line.
Humm...that don't look like diesel, humm...don't smell like diesel...hummm...put some down and lite it. humm...don't burn like diesel. Some idiot put a whole tank of gas in it! So I went down to my neighbor after farting around with siphon hose and got a pump since he is in the furnance business. Pumped it all out and put it in the F 150 ford.
Got 10 gallons of diesel fuel. Use the mittyac to draw up the line. Pulled the gas through the injector pump and lines. Got it back together after another new filter...just to be safe.
You know it cranked right up...and off she ran! Now have to do a compression test. Have a timing belt kit installed and fix the odds and ends...and hopefully she will run like a champ! LOL slightly worried, but it "seems" to be running like it should.
Kinda embarrassed now, thought it was sucking air. Nope...some IDIOT put gas in it! Hopefully I saved her!
NOBISOUT!
