did it once about 7 yrs ago in a mazda 5 drove it about half a mile and wondered why it was running a bit lumpy:lol:........realized what i had done and drove the half a mile to the mechanic i used and he drained the tank. No real ill effects to the engine

Sorted now. £130. That'll do.

She'll be sucking my fuel out for a long time now due to this.

In the scheme of things, not a bad price no matter how annoying. Glad the car's not fucked.
I very nearly did it once but luckily only put a pound in. Apart from the shame when going to pay, there was no harm done.
After driving petrol cars for 25 years, this was my first diesel and I was paranoid so bought some attachment that apparently prevents you fitting a petrol nozzle in but it just became irritating so I removed it. It's sat in the house somewhere if you want to give it to your lass for Xmas.:lol:
 
Our lass (nor) did it last year in her car and blamed “the kids garn on in the back”. She’s also ran out of petrol dropping me off at the club on a Sunday which went down like a knackered lift. She has a degree anarl the muppet.

Petrol station usually have a number of specialist behind the counter.....Did this at sainsbuys once, cost me £150 for some bloke in a van to come out, drain system of the £50 of fuel just put in....That tank of fuel in total cost me £250.....We now have two petrol cars rather than a petrol and a diesel :lol:

Great business btw, the lad who did mine at about 3pm said I shouldnt feel too daft, he had already done 7 that day.......If that was a normal day there is some serious money in this business.
 
I did this about 5 years ago in what was comfortably the worst few hours of my life. Knocked off from work and put petrol in the diesel. Waited a hour for the bloke to arrive and charge me £235 quid.

Went home to a speeding find which was dead on 28 days after the incident, which I assumed I'd gotten away with

I then dropped my phone down the toilet, which did make something of a recovery over the next few days but initially looked done for

It was the night we were meant to play man city and it got called off due to the rain. It was a lonely sad evening

Christ :lol:
 
I wonder what these lads do with the fuel they remove from stricken vehicles? They can't put it down drains, they can't resell it as it's contaminated, unless they sell it to users of all-fuel vehicles but there can't be many of them around.

Maybe it gets stockpiled then returned to the refinery?

Anyone who does this should be banned from driving immediately. If they can’t concentrate long enough to choose between two nozzles, I’d be pretty concerned about their concentration while driving.

Not wrong.

Her mobile gets lost on a daily basis (in the house). Bank card every few days - usually found but sometimes not. Keys were lost last week.
Nee wonder I'm f***ing stressed.

They sell it for a discounted amount of around 43p a litre apparently.
