i got two they about £15 squid, diesel is just thin oil, all it will do is thin yer oil a bit but as you say the sump holds nearly 8 litres of the thick stuff, so no panic! course u gonna change the oil etc but you not gonna blow a BEB unless you go on 100 mile drive uphill!
the diesel in the bores will drain into the sump ,turn engine over by hand a couple of turns if you think there might be@jamesmartin would the diesel in the bores have drained down into sump now or do I need to remove injectors again and keep turning engine by hand to expel it?
I took the turbo drain tube off the sump and drained 20 litres of oil/diesel
Plan is to get as much diesel as I can out of top of engine, put injectors back then replace sump doing oil pump bolt at same time. Just concerned about knowing the bores are clear of diesel
as in ,fan is in the way or stiff
must have been very full ,shouldnt get any more fuel if ignitions off after youve let the pressure go by removing an injector
the only way you get fuel in the bores is poor washers when you remove the first injector, poorly injector or heads got a crack
its the washer that would have to be poor to fill bores the o ring fills the rocker box then sump,if you put it back together and theres no leaks jobs done after oil change,if you use a 19mm spanner and remove the switch on the fuel pressure regulator it will drain head before removing an injector, otherwise removing injector to check bores also fills them or the first injector bore thats removed,you can bend a conrod which is why you turn by hand to start with
fit injectors etc,if your removing sump dont switch ignition on till its off and oils stopped dripping then if you switch ignition on turn engine over by hand and check to see if any diesel drips out of block
youll have to eventually but its not necessary to check for leaks
