I forgot to board on gas oil (bi-oil)

[the middle]

Hello,
That's it, I forgot to switch on diesel, before cutting my engine.
As a result, the car is stuck at work, with the injection circuit full of cold oil ...
I blew the circuit to the pump, with diesel, but I emptied the battery before the engine started.
I only see two solutions:
Either pull the car in second gear by a friend, the time to replace the oil with diesel, or start with the pilot start.
Someone already had the problem ???
It had to happen...

Hello,

Is it possible to heat the pump and injectors with a tool like heat gun, just to make the bazaar more fluid?
Avoiding the torch all the same ...

It is a car park in the heart of nature ... no 220 volt nearby
I will try to purge by the exit of the pump ... (I had purged the entry)

Indeed, by loosening the injectors the pump will experience less effort. It remains to purge the remaining oil in these injectors.

Would giving a hand pump blow in the return pipe allow evacuation? Or better, inject diesel into the syringe?

Good luck...

And for next time:

I saw an assembly sounding an alarm buzzer, if the engine is turned off while the engine was still running on oil. Thus we can restart immediately to purge the diesel bazaar.

And luxury safety: cold engine, would there be a way to compare the oil / diesel density before starting?

It seems to me that in order to successfully start a diesel vehicle by towing it with a cold engine, it takes a lot of distance before the engine deigns to start ....
So to avoid ...

Perhaps it would be best to start with clamps, or an 2eme battery? Possibly Pilot Starter + some gasoline in the mixture ...

Yes of the star pilot that might be enough to re-prime ... You have to see where there are the oil "plugs" you were turning at how many%?

A preheating of the injection pump could be essential if the oil is really frozen (hoping that it is not already blown).

For the lack of 220V jvois that a solution: a generator ...

In short, you need (at least)

a) 220V
b) 12V (1 big battery backup)
c) star pilot + tool to disassemble

Otherwise have you been to see if there is already a precedent on oliomobile.org?

Ok, thanks to all, problem solved, with the pilot start.
Starting at 1 / 4 of ride, it smoked, turned like an old washing machine for 2 minutes, and then the calm returned
I must absolutely put an alarm, in case of forgetting ...
ps, i was at 100% oil ...

An alarm, or so always have a bottle of auto start

Otherwise a little gasoline in the oil for the winters should not hurt.

Ah cool that it's so easily solved!

Oh yeah 100% when it freezes? Hat ... the big class what Especially for an "oil tanker" !!! Hihihihiih

hello, it's good to know that a shot of startpilot is enough.

from what I could see on oliomobile, a little gasoline with the oil for the winter with the electric heater 12v should not be bad.

this will avoid falling back with a much better fuel economy and a saving too, the oil being reheated.

I do not know much about it, but I am inquiring about whether or not to go into bi-fueling soon.
