Hi, Unfortunately I made the mistake of popping to a dubious local garage to get a couple of litres of super unleaded to pop into my car so I could move it to my other garage and then the trouble starts.
My car always started straight away and was running really well. However after putting the 2 litres in it ran rough and died? I checked the fuel only to find it had the hint of a diesel smell and after smelling the can a waft of diesel again. so far I have drained the tank and flushed through the lines and cleaned out the carb and filled float bowl with fresh super unleaded but she just turns over now not even a hint of firing?? I have a spark at the points and fuel in the cylinder but no obvious spark at the plugs but the inline spark plug tester does flash??? could it be that all 4 plugs are shot although all have done no miles as car is off the road. I am at my wits end as all should be good but it isn't? compression test was 150 across all 4 cylinders. from what I can tell the super unleaded seems like it was contaminated with diesel as it was definitely a mixture and showed super unleaded on the receipt. Garage didn't want to know but that lot are a whole other story!!! Any help would be appreciated! many thanks..
