Personally I'd be draining it. But if you plan to go ahead and ride don't forget to video it for us. :)

all the miss-fueling, these day's is petrol in Diesel. as cars have a small filler hole, that was put there to stop unleaded late model, getting leaded super, in old day's. talk about slow fill!!
but in old days was a lot of Diesel being put in petrol cars. and it stuffed them. don't run it!

drain and refill with petrol of your choice.

KC is a wise and experienced man. This whole thread has to be a wind up surely. Diesel in a Harley?

Thanks Killer and Steelo for clearing the water, figured.
But people do just grab fuel the nozzle at servo"s. For example Bloody Caltex Diesel Vortex is similar to Caltex Premium Vortex pumps.
Heard of a guy, hungover, putting a little petrol into his Diesel operated vehicle. Shit happens, but not with Harley though, that"s bad shit.

I refuse to believe he didn't think the D in Deluxe was for diesel.

A bloke at work put diesel in his brand new 500 and admitted to doing it. Not sure if he was stupid for putting the diesel in it or for admitting to doing it.

Sorry LM2, I don't doubt a personal experience but I find the situation a bit hard to believe. I've seen all the car shows and youtubes where they swap the fuels and the cars have no to minimal residual damage. Diesel in a petrol car, I would have thought would just stop it. It's only a quite low flammability oil after all. Do you have a source? Cheers

Cheers LM2. That's amazing.

I've heard this happening in families with 2 cars, -one diesel, one petrol.
One day the drivers swap cars....yada yada yada....wrong fuel is put in...doh!
