Last summer it was almost £1.30 a litre, remember?

£70 wasn't that much then . . . .

Time to look on the bright side :D

If you had done that (filled and run a diesel-engined car with petrol) on a 'modern' vehicle with their high-fallootin', common rail injector pumps, the cost of the lost pertol would have been the very least of your worries.. :?

Every day, peeps completely wreck their pumps - which require the diesel as a lubricant - by filling up with petrol; costs many, many £100's to repair.

Thanks goodness for the agricultural simplicity of the Bongo diesel engine. And self-priming to boot!

What more do you want?

(Ok, apart from better consumption. And smoother running. And quieter operation. And...)

I know it sounds really weird but I hadn't looked all week - I just had my mind on other things. I never noticed it getting low and obviously you dont get a warning.

A good rest will help without a shadow of a doubt.

Sorry to hear about your precious Bongo.

Good luck on things improving :wink:

before anyone worries - Dydo is affectionately known by some members of the forum as Dildo. It isn't offensive to me or Dydo. It isn't meant to be :roll:

If it has upset anyone then I apologise but trust me - it isn't meant that way #-o
