ClareQuilty Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A fellow who rents my old '91 Nissan Sunny accidentally put in E85 gasohol. He drove it about 20 kilometers before having the tank drained at B-Quick & refilling with real benzine. Will this have done significant damage to my carburetor, fuel lines, etc?

johng Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If it still runs ok and no petrol leaks and smell then most likely no damage from such a short exposure time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Probably cleaned everything out ... anyway don't worry you only paid 30,000 for it so no loss .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareQuilty Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 30,000 is a big loss in my book, JAS21. But so far car's OK according to the renter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just keep your fingers crossed as it may have had an adverse affect on non metallic components that may show up in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do worry about that. But I suspect the replacement parts may not be all that expensive or difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
