Just out of interest, what would be the symptoms if petrol had been put into a diesel car.
I own a 1.9 Diesel Turbo Meridian. Put a tenner in the tank on Thursday afternoon (tank was fairly empty, but not enough for the light to come on) - drove home, approx a mile and a half and parked up.
Started up Friday morning, got down the road and the engine felt like it was gaining and losing power, turned around, just got home as the car stalled.
Car started about an hour later, drove around the block, same symptoms again, variable power surges and then stalled. Have attempted to turn the engine once, but no luck, just doesn't want to know.
I've checked the battery - full charge. Pulled out the fuel filter, looks clean (car got serviced a couple of months ago, so I know it's not been in for ages). I did have a sniff, not sure if the smell is pure diesel or if any petrol is mixed in.
Bearing in mind I've had absolutely no problems with the car before filling up on Thursday - could these symptoms suggest petrol in my tank.
Thanks for any replies.
