£12 of petrol in a diesel car? Theat wouldn't be "fine" if you ran the engine....a bit of diesel in a petrol car is a different matter. The AA charge either £184 or £230 depending on whether you're a member or not, but that's a fraction of the price of having the fuel rail etc etc replaced.

Mate put £20 in his Chrysler and it was fine. As ive always been lead to believe diesel has a lower vicosity resulting in it blocking things due to it not being heated prior to combustion.
