i did it but the other way round, put petrol in my deisel, lucky i didn't start it, the RAC picked me up and drove me to the local garage where they flushed it. i would suggest you ring the RAC / AA and just ask what they advise. | |

Yeah hopefully it wont be too bad and a flush will sort it, she only drove it down the road from the petrol station so hopefully no damage. The car only cost £300 so if the engines screwed she might aswell get new car!! it's a H reg fiesta so no CAT thankfully | |

You'll be fine. The cat will need replacing. but once its flushed it will be fine. Also i think you should but a sticker on the tank and on the dash to remind her. | |

The AA won't flush fuel tanks - they're prohibited from doing so by safety and environmental regulations. She'll have to go to a garage | |

if it been started then i belive your need the system flushed, if it has only been put in the tank you should be alright to drain that off | |
