Petrol in Diesel Engine?

Question

My Car is a 2002 Ford Mondeo..It was on empty and i accidentaly put 10euros worth of petrol in it.. the guy at the garage told me to fill up with diesel..i put in 72euros worth of diesel..the car seems to be running ok..i just drove home only a mile but am still a bit worried??

Answer 1

Shouldn't do any harm.  I used to do this deliberately on my diesel bmw during the winter to thin the diesel down a bit.

Answer 2

yes a little bit is not so bad .. something you dont want to do .... its been done many times it should be ok but if its bugging you then have it drain and refilled
