It's Czech Mate

Just had the dread phone call off my mother in law, she has a courtesy car whilst hers is serviced and its the same model only petrol

It was on the red so she put £15 of diesel in to tide her over till tomorrow night......its a petrol

I reckon if she brims it with Super Unleaded it'll be ok


Thoughts?

No not if its got £15 worth in thats quite a bit, needs draining out IMO even if she tries to brim it and run it it will run like a bag of shite, the plugs will foul up and the oil will need dropping.

On an older car with no cat and less electronics it would be fine, a mechanic mate of mine used to reguarly put a 1/3 mix of waste diesel into his petrol nova . Ran fine but smoked a bit.

Wouldn't want to risk it on a newer car though

Yeh you can't do it on a Petrol, tank needs to be drained.

it baffles me how people manage to put diesel into newer petrol cars as the nozzle is almost twice the size so doesnt actually fit!

If it's a newish diesel I'd wouldn't even consider starting it, just drain it and brim it with unleaded.

Drain it out, fill with petrol.

Been covered loads of times here.

That's a fair bit of the wrong fuel, it needs drained.
