Funnily enough I was chatting to the tanker driver whilst I was waiting. He said the drivers monitor the AA callout channel sometimes and when they get a sudden batch of motorists with the wrong fuel they know that one of them has messed up :x

iv,e ran on petrol/diesel mix and was lucky really i just pinked a lot and blew out large clouds of blue smoke ,but mine is a petrol and does that most of the time anyway lol :lol:
Nugget 4x4:
I did the same with our very new family car , thought I was driving the V8 Range Rover because it was so smooth but alas it was the Chrysler which runs on Diesel. This cost me £230 at the main dealer to sort out (only because it is still under warranty and I was running a Green Lane Clearing Day on the Ridgeway when Becky My wife discovered the problem) Some of us now put this episode down to experience others are loosing favour :) :) :)
I even had to fight to get my Petrol back which powered my Range Rover to Langdale Quest although fellow Club members said that I looked like a Rogue RED ARROW going up the M1
thermidorthelobster:
I've heard colloquially that you can run about 25% diesel in a petrol engine, and up to 50% petrol in a diesel (in some cold climates they have to do this anyway to stop the diesel waxing), but this doesn't sound like it would do things much good. Mine would have been at least 80% petrol so it was a complete no-go. Should be ready in about 5 mins for me to pick up... Can't wait to see the invoice :x
