I have a 1994/5 Nissan Micra which I filled with about 20 litres of unleaded petrol and then for some reason I was distracted and tried to use the diesel pump. Naturally I had some difficulty using it but, being a complete idiot, I persevered until I had put about 0.5 litres of diesel in. I then went on to add a further 9 litres of petrol to fill up my tank, so the ratio of diesel to petrol is about 1:50. Since then I have driven about 8 miles with no ill effects but I am concerned about any long lasting damage.
Will it damage my catalytic converters?
Will it damage my pistons?
Do I need to replace any filters?
Should I drain the fuel before driving any further? I believe the diesel should go to the bottom of the tank so perhaps the damage has already been done?
I know this subject has been covered before but there have been a few conflicting answers. Cheers in advance for any help.
