Stranded at petrol station

[OMGASAXO]

Hi just filled up on petrol and car ran for about 10 seconds and as soon as I have it some accelerator there was no power and it cut out. Tried starting it and no luck. Had to push it to get out the way of people. Let it cool down 10 mins tried to start it and same thing happens, before any one asks I defiantly put petrol in, not Disel, got receipt to prove it.

My initial thoughts it the fuel pump has gone? Any ideas? Thanks

[OMGASAXO]

And when I first started the car today there was a strange buzzing noise from the rear I assumed it was the sub/ amp but fuel pump is in the rear with the fuel tank I guess?

[danny-vts]

have you tried pushing the red button under bonnet for fuel cut off?

[OMGASAXO]

Never tried that, what does it do? Too late tho dad towed me to the garage, so no car til Monday :,(

[gzrvts]

The red button is the fuel cut off switch,sometimes it can get knocked and you have to reset it by pushing the button.:clapping:

[OMGASAXO]

Hope it wasn't a matter of that after all haha don't see how it could of got knocked however..

[danny-vts]

it's a saxo, anything can happen lol

[Luke_coleman]

is it lowered? i had the same problem and it was the fuel cut off, happened once and got the AA out, after that it happened alot and i just kept resetting it. sometimes it wouldnt start and would have to give it some gas and eventually kicked in

That's the problem, if you defiantly put petrol in a diesel then it WILL break down.

Except its a petrol car which i flled with petrol....:y:

Well hope its not that after all the capuffle i had, Plus im prety sure the fuel pump has gone, i herd a slight wirring kid of sound when i started the car this morning couldnt understand what the noise was or where it was comming from in the rear..

[blackie_2k5]

easy way to check...remove the fuel pipe at the fuel rail...put the end in a pop bottle or something and crank it over...if it starts to fill up you know its not the pump ;)

You said you defiantly put petrol in it though. That would imply the car is a diesel.

[OMGASAXO]

You said you defiantly put petrol in it though. That would imply the car is a diesel.

Why would that imply its diesel?

[Viper]

If you are defiantly putting petrol in then it means it shouldn't have petrol. Therefore logic would dictate it's a diesel.

I don't think you're getting this.

I don't think he's going to either. Defying the law of intelligence much?

What kind of logic is that? It's clearly dictating that the correct fuel was put into the engine.

Looks like we've got another one.

There's your problem, you don't fill it up via the engine :P

haha okay, TANK. :zainy:

Maybe, this is a big maybe I admit, but just maybe, there was somebody stood, holding the petrol nozzle, determined not to let him get his hands on it. Attempting to persuade the OP to use diesel instead.

He forcefully beat him to a pulp and prised the correct nozzle from the cold dead hands of his arch enemy. Thus, defiantly putting petrol in his petrol car?

Although it is a longshot, that is plausible!

[knight-22]

Hahaha poor guy. All he wanted was some help, and in the heat of the moment, makes a couple little mistaches...

[Mr_P]

Indeed. Such a story would have appeared in general chat though. :n:

Are those like moustaches?

[Brettles1986]

I'm going to throw this one out there and say that OP is using an idevice of some sort to post his issues here.

[Mr_P]

I thought it was deliberate irony in his post......?

I just typed, "definitely" into my iPhone and my iPhone was happy to display it as "definitely." I'm definite.


See how much of an "idevice" whore I am? I even typed it "iPhone." :homme:

If trying to point out errors in my last post was the intention of this then think about it a bit more first. iPhone is a name, idevice isn't.

My iPhone always spells definitely wrong for some reason.

Not at all. I was genuinely calling myself a sad twat for typing it "iPhone." :drink:

You can never be too sure on here!

No no no, you where supposed to read it as, mist-ache. How very defiant of you.

Oh... Well my iPhone changes words. But you know what I meant.

It's interesting that it consistently changes them to the wrong words.

I think your mind changes words too. How definite of it.

[OMGASAXO]

Boo hoo... A few little mistakes. Lets make a drama of it

Didn't know they did 1.1 diesel engines in Saxos :clapping:

[knight-22]

Yep, they actually made a few mk1 saxos which used 1.1 turbo diesel engines, before swapping to the 1.5 non turbo.
