Ive just put 2 litres of perol in my diesel tank. i filled tank right
up with 70 litres of diesel in the hope that the petrol will be on the
top and i can syphon it off .

Advice please


I am not going to comment on the fuel, only make a suggestion that
you fit one of these or something silmilar.

I fitted one (cannot remember the make) to the apprentices Kangoo
after a full tank of unleaded was put in by mistake.

have you noticed how Paul's audi turns into a bmw halfway through their
story?


Wow - just goes to show how serious the effects can be of putting in the
wrong fuel, eh?

Wish I'd known about these gadgets a few weeks ago actually. When we
replaced one of our cars very recently I made the conscious decision
*not* to go for a diesel, as I figured that with SWMBO (no offence,
love...) and teenagers both driving it alongside our existing
petrol-engined job, it would only be a matter of time before I had an
expensive cock-up on my hands.
