Default Petrol in Diesel Engine


"MartinC" wrote in message
om...
Can I expect any bad effects from adding (accidentally) approx 10% (6
litres in 60) unleaded petrol to a diesel engine car. The car appears
to run OK at present. Will the two fuels have mixed.

Please keep (deserved) abuse to a minimum and answers to a maximum!

TIA


Taken from the AA Web Site:

7. Fuel problems
Empty fuel tanks cost AA patrols a lot of time and members unnecessary
inconvenience.
Fill up at the start of your journey.
Every year more than 100,000 motorists put the wrong fuel in their car -
petrol in diesel engines or vice versa. In these cases the car will have to
be recovered to a garage and draining the tank and disposing of contaminated
fuel is expensive.
