  • 2stroke fuel in my golf..

    Dont ask me how it happened but will the 2stroke fuel do anything bad to my k-jetronic 16v golf?

    I'm no expert (< negligence waiver ) but I'd say not a lot would happen besides a decent amount of smoke. Sounds like some drain the tank when this happen, others dilute it with lots of 4 stroke.... maybe check your spark plugs afterwards.

    Might be wrong.

      Correct me if im wrong, but isnt two stroke just unleaded and oil?

      Id say it would fine, unless you filled the tank
      if it was a small bit, just fill tank with premium, run it near empty, replace plugs and go on your way, thats what id do anyway

        Haha dont worry buddy im not gonna blame you for anything. Im just worried that it might stuff the metering system in k-jetronic cause I heard its extra senstive and can easily be stuffed from bad fuel. I also just recently got my fuel distributor and warm up reg reco'ed so I really dont want anything going wrong.

          Drain tank, and fill with premium, Easy

          How much 2 stroke did you get in, and how on earth did you manage to put 2 stroke in it?? LOL

            I don't think yo need to worry. 2 stroke is pretty benign.

            Out of interest, who did your k-jet reco? Interested in hearing.

                  Well he actually isnt a VW specialist at all. He specializes in bosch and lucas mechanical fuel injection and mostly does bench work.

                    That info has made my day. Not many Bosch specialists left.

                      fill with unleaded and drive it.
                      When you get to half way, fill again - that way you are continually diluting it.
                      Do this for 4 or 5 half fills and you should be fine

                        I used to stick old 2 stroke (that i didnt want to put in the chainsaw) into the car to get rid of it.

                              You can have problems with carboning up the rings, but other than that it will be fine mate.

                              Just drive it hard to keep the plugs clean and as everyone has said, fill the tank to the brim to dilute it.
