Hillclimber ... we won't ask how you know 🙂 ... I will admit that I filled my jerry-can in haste on the way to Forrestburn one weekend and ended up filling my single-seater with Diesel ... at least it gave my class-mates a good laugh! 😆

Keith, pretty much my own story.
I topped up my tank from a can, before leaving F'burn at the end of the Sunday. Ended up with a mixture in the tank, and I looked like a Red Arrows display aircraft before making it past Heartburn Services. And had to be lifted home.
Could not work what was going wrong after two days of testing/ resetting in my workshop. Until finding that a fuel spill I had left when checking pressure was not evaporating. Retraced my steps mentally, checked the can....
Normally I fill the car and the can together at the petrol station. But had unusually filled the can separately, while it was raining and in failing light.
Cheers, Colin
