Diesel in my petrol ford focus 1.6 2001 model?
It's a complicated story quick details are it was in the tank and I drove approx 5 miles came home and parked it and now it won't start. When turning the ignition key all you hear is a clicking sound will it damage my engine and how can I get it started? Just to recap it's a Ford focus 1.6 53 plate 2001/2002 model
You might be lucky. That clicking is your starter solinoid… Either the battery is low. But the engine may have hydraulicked… Fluid in cylinders.remove spark plugs. Get tank drained.fuel filters changed etc… Two years ago i put £34.00 of petrol in a diesel.drove to other side of paris.over 250 miles.before i stopped and it would not start… The two fuels had not mixed… Cleaned out and still perfect
Drain tank thoroughly and fill with gasoline. Since all focus have recirculating tuel, you are hoping that the relatively small amount of deisel/fuel oil in the lines can be purged back into the tank. And the engine will still be able to kick of with gasoline
Sounds more like your battery is dead.
Empty the tank as much as possible, change the fuel filter, and fill the tank up with gas.
You may have to clean the spark plus and possibly the injectors.
- I have a ford 2001 ford Galaxy 2.3 petrol needing Electric Windows will only work from the the drivers side. I checked the wiring within the doors and repaired any broken wires but still nothing. The drivers switch has a child lock for the window but this doesn't make a difference if on or off. Is the anything els I can check? Could it be the drivers switch at fault? Looking for some simple tests I can check before I put money in to this. Cheers Paul
