I only went and put Petrol in my TDI today
abinitio:
£30 of petrol would be too high a ratio to risk starting even after brimming with derv. Most people recommend a maximun ratio of 1:5 and even that would be risky, that amount was approx half a tank full.

Years ago(about 20)we used to put 2 gallon of petrol in the diesel tank of the wagons to stop the diesel freezing up in the winter.Pete(we also used to go to bed before we got up and had to lick streets clean with us tounges :lol: )

I think it's 12p a litre for the fuel - the rest is Tax and VAT :wink:

A friend of mine did the same with his 110, but put over £80 worth of petrol in (full tank less the dregs of diesel that were left). He then drove it about 10 miles before spluttering to a halt in the middle of nowhere (Burnage nr end of Stanage) He managed to swerve into the car park as the engine cut out, then he spent a few minutes wondering why, rang the AA then the look of sudden realisation on his face was hilarious :lol:
He'd been driving his other halfs petrol corsa around all week and got into the habit of picking the petrol pump up!!. Cost him about £800 but he was back on the road later the same day, which was good as he was towing the trailer full of the camping equipment.
