To siphon diesel from a Citroën Picasso tank, you should first ensure the vehicle is off and parked safely. Use a siphoning pump or a tube long enough to reach the diesel in the tank. Insert one end of the tube into the fuel filler neck and the other into a suitable container, then create a vacuum to start the flow. However, be cautious and follow all safety precautions, as handling fuel can be hazardous.
on the petrol model there should be a flap you can access under the rear boot carpet. The pump is then located on top of the tank. On the diesel for some reason no access other than putting the car on ramps / axel stands and dropping the tank to access pump,
I have a 52 plate Picasso and my slightly dimmer half put 20 pounds of petrol in my diesel car. There was about 5 - 10 pounds of diesel already in the tank. I simply syphoned the tank with a hose and a bucket. doesnt taste nice i know, then filled it with diesel and a fuel treatment and ive had no problems since. this was a year ago now. Its not usually bad this way round as truck drivers put a small amount of petrol in their tanks to stop them freezing in the winter. its when you put diesel in a petrol engine that you've got a problem.
you have to drop the fuel tank to change the pump have you tried banging the fuel tank sometimes that restarts the pump if your lucky
the wife put about £3.50 of petrol in our diesel Picasso ( by mistake), she topped it up with a bout £20 worth of Diesel, i spoke to a fitter at work who said there shouls not be a problem so long as we kept refueling frequently & did not allow the fuel to get on the red. He informed me that the petrol removes to lubricant from the fuel pump & that is what naks the car up, if you kep re-filling the tank with Diesel it dilutes the petrol so it reduces the effect it has on the pump. hope this helps
The diesel engine Citroen C3 have the fuel filter located in the engine bay, under the air intake pipe to the air filter. There are some pictures on this forum post: http://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-c3-tips/how-to-change-the-air-filter-on-a-citroen-c3-1-4-16v-hdi-t80.html and some instructions to remove the diesel filter here: http://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-citroen-c3/changing-the-diesel-fuel-filter-t102.html The petrol engine Citroen C3 has a filter in the fuel tank that lasts the life of the car.
the only safe way is to drop the tank. ( DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR OR START THE ENGINE WITH PETROL IN THE FUEL LINES EVERY THING FROM THE TANK TO THE PUMP WILL NEED TO BE CLEANED. If you had he car towed back home without starting the engine then removing the tank and draining fuel should do. A lot depends on how much diesel was in the tank when you put the petrol in. How much petrol you put with the diesel before You realised the error and whether you got neat petrol up to the injectors. Its a common error running the engine for a few seconds wont matter to much but you don't want petrol in the injector pump at all. If you no very little about mechanics let a professional do it for you as mistakes can be catastrophic.
No. Do not put unleaded gas in a diesel tank.
the fuel tank is located under the back seats
There is none.
If there is very little diesel fuel in the tank, you can fill the rest of the tank with gasoline to dilute it, and then just burn it off during your driving. If you have a lot of diesel in the tank, try to siphon off as much of the diesel as possible, then, again fill it with gasoline and burn it off during your drives.
If you were trying to get gas or diesel out of a tank just take a hose (preferably smaller to fit just what you need) just put the hose in he tank and suck it through the hose and a suction will be made for it to push through the hose. Have a bucket or something to put it in and you have gas out of your tank.
