put diesel in my motorbike and drove. I can see where to drain the tank but how do I flush the engine HELP?

Answer 1

Flushing is not necessary. Just drain it and fill it up with regular gas. What little diesel is left in your engine will be diluted by the gasoline and will burn just fine.

The only thing you may notice is a little extra smoke in your exhaust. That's just the extra oil in the diesel fuel burning off. It will not harm your engine in any way.

Answer 2

You dont need to flush the engine,depends on what brand of motorbike you if you japanese bike you can drain the fuel from the carburator reservoir which has a drain plug(small),and a float, or if it is a fuel injected engine you can try flushing it out of the high pressure fuel line after the fuel filter

Answer 3

you need to drain the fuel tank and carbretta or carbretta's then flush the tank and carbs with fresh petrol,if your motorbike is two stroke oil mix then tou will need to drain the crank case of oil or diesel fuel,there should be a drain plug somewhere lowest of the crankcase,put new or different spark plugs back in,as the diesel fuel would have soaked right into the old one's.

Answer 4

There is a drain on the carburator bowel take it loose and put gas in the tank. The gas will flow through the fuel lines and rinse the diesel out of the carb. You may have to take out the spark plugs and clean the oil off of them...Good Luck

Answer 5

I would have thought that Flushing is not necessary. Just drain the fuel from the tank and fill it up with regular petrol. What little diesel is left in your engine will be diluted by the petrol and will burn just fine.

Answer 6

Find the carburators and take off the bowls (my bike has two carbs). Other than draining the tank, the only other thing to do is refill the take with gas and a fuel line cleaner. When that tank is empty, or you've run quite a bit through, check the spark plugs. If they're black they need to be replaced.

Answer 7

Drain the diesel out of the tank and rinse by putting small amount of fresh gasoline in it and sloshing it around. Then drain that also. Change the fuel filter if it has one. Fill it with fresh gasoline, and add a dose of fuel system/ carburetor cleaner. Also drain the oil and change the oil filter..... it's probably contaminated from the diesel fuel. Clean or change the spark plugs and drain the carburetor bowls.

Answer 8

You will need to drain the carbs,should be a plug at the bottom of the carb.There is nowhere or no need to drain the engine just clean the plugs If you have fuel injection it will pull the petrol through without doing anything except clean the plugs

Answer 9

Just drain it and refill adding some redex it'll soon sort out the oily substance from diesel and your be on your way in no time, may take a few turns to fire up, clean your spark plugs too beforehand and squirt a little redex in the pots before you replace your spark plugs that'll clear out the excess oil residue left from the diesel...

Answer 10

Yeah, just drain the tank and fill up with gasoline. The little bit of diesel in there should not do any harm as long as it doesn't stay in there. Fill it up and go for a ride.
