a diesel will at least try to tun on old bricks, tyres and tar, whereas a petrol engine is a bit more fussy, even old petrol wont make it go somethimes....

Tony, I did a simialr thing the other day.
Borrowed my old dears car while my Pug Derv was in for its MOT.
Get to the first garage and start tanking her up with deisel!!!
Bearing in mind its a petrol car lol. Luckily i noticed after 3litres, so the 27 or so I added diluted it a bit....could have been nasty!
