Question:
ok, i know it is stupid but i have two cars and one's unleaded and the other a diesel... last night i started putting in unleaded into my SEAT toledo and then i realised what i was doing after 4 liters... luckly the fuel tank was practically empty - so i was able to top the rest of the tank up with diesel and got in 43 litres of it, so it started up fine and i drove for about 35 mins all the way home in it no problemn. I am just wondering thought am i out of the woods yet or could i still experience problems, i know that unleaded fuel can damage a special seal or ring inside the catalytic convertor... could this still happen or do you think i have put such a small amount in and mixed it in with plenty of diesel that it will be ok? I am going to keep topping the tank up with diesel to continue to dilute the unleaded...
Thanks everyone

If it is a turbo diesel there is a big problem, if not it has a 50/50 chance of being alright. Best advice is to have the tank drained which will cost about £60.Good luck with whatever you decide

well if it were me i wouldnt risk it i would syphon it out, but if you left it in there i would think that the diesel would be thicker or heavier so would all sink to the bottom but that is JUST a guess. as far as damage goes im not sure about what it would do best choice may not be most cost effective but i would syphon all of it out and start over.Is it a good idea to put a potato in the back of a school bus?
yesYou should be okay with those proportions - just keep doing what you are & top it up as you can. As someone's already said, petrol's sometimes added to diesel anyway in cold conditions.

It will be ok. Unleaded will actually clean the engine funny as it sounds. Wagons are diesel powered and sometime they put 10s of litres of unleaded in to flush out the engine and clean it out.More Questions & Answers ...
