Advice needed for friend PETROL IN RADIATOR Tue, 15 March 2005 17:37 Go to next message
Hi all

A friend of mine owns a holden vl with a 308 motor in it.
He asked someone to service his car and they accidently put Green radio control car petrol in the radiator thinking it was coolant.

Aftr he had put maybe a litre of it in he realised what he did so they flushed it out with water for about 30 minutes.

I think the petrol was 2 stoke im not sure but it was green.

Will this have any effect on the motor or will the flushing out with water fix it?

he shouldnt have an issue at all since its been flushed but if he wants to be sure he can buy some radiator flush and pour it in. run the car for bout 5-10mins and drain it and the refill with coolant
