  Rather than disturbing everything removing the tank, would have been easier to purge the in tank pump via VCDS, yes you won’t get 100% of the petrol out, but if you brim it with diesel won’t do any harm, save all the hassle

  FYI vw sell a fuel adative get some of that in it to help lube the HPP and injectors ! &nbsp;May stop them from failing in the future

  I had a miss-fuel on my A3 p8. Drove it home, took the back seats out and siphoned the fuel out from the pump access. Brimmed it with diesel and never had a problem other than having 40 litres of petro/diesel mix to get rid of and all the fuel I spilt when removing the pump.

  The petrol you drained works brilliantly in a chainsaw.

  You probably covered this off camera but with all of that unburned petrol in the oil, a change of oil and filter may be considered.

  That was a lot of unnecessary work. Pull the fuel out through the filter, once empty replace the filter and then put a few gallons of diesel in and prime it with new fuel. Then fill it fully with diesel and you’ll be ok. Did it last week and it works a treat.

  hopefully the life of the hp pump and injectors haven&apos;t been shortened, otherwise score.

  Man I love your channel! Quality repairs and content, no bulls*** straight to the point being a mechanic myself something I would consider doing when I have the money

  Give it a few hundreds miles and if the high pressure pump will be ok, you get lucky. Petrol could make a serious wear on hpp and it could shows up lately. I hope that it will be good.

  I filled an ASDA home delivery sprinter van to the top full of petrol after an 8 hour shift. &nbsp;Never owned a diesel and just picked up the wrong nozzle. &nbsp;Managed to drive it the store before it began to stutter, and then it dawned on me what I had done. It was repaired within a few days, but my reputation lived on for several months.
