Drain tank, change the filter and fill it up with diesel then just burn off the remaining petrol from the lines etc | |

ive put £20 petrol in then realised and put £20 diesel in and it was just a bit hard to start sometimes and a bit slugish n smokey until it was empty then filled with diesel and was fine. | |

I do one a week at least, work for Green Flag so we basically pick the car up from the side of the road wherever its cut out, take it back to work, drain it and there on there way within the hour. £150 lighter though.. :lol: | |

As Kano has said and I'll second it, it doesn't do too much damage. Couple of weeks ago in work we had a 3 series that the guy told us he had done it to, was just a case of pump out and tank drained and filled back up again - I asked the other guys how many of these cases you see, they said too many but it rarely means anything too terrible. I think it's a case of the engine just stopping working before it can do too much damage. | |

Drain it, replace filter, fill with diesel and bleed the system. | |

£40 is going to be about half a tank on that then? How much diesel was there in the car before re-fuelling? | |

Am I right in saying its much worse if its the other way around? | |

If the car is fairly new then be prepared for an astronomical bill for repairs. | |
