Re: Uh Oh... Don't Put Petrol in Your Diesel.

This happened to my friend. After taking advice and unsuccessfully syphoning the tank he was advised to instead fill up the whole engine with diesel and to keep it full so it diluted the petrol enough. I think a qurter of the tank was unleaded and it was kept topped up for a few weeks. Fortunately that solved the problem. But then this was a 15 year old car and not a new merc!!!
