Nearly made a terrible mistake!
10 Answers
I have been driving my dads diesel car for over a week (he needed my car as it is larger for a trip to Scotland). My car is unleaded.
I went to the petrol sation in my car this morning, half asleep, picked up the diesel pump and just as I as I went to squeeze the handle, I realised what I was doing!
That would have been a costly mistake!!!!

Hey jd,
Very lucky indeed as if you put in the diesel, possible engine damage and all kinds of problems would have occurred.
You would have had a big bill on your hands, thats for sure.
Could possibly consider this a let-off and treat myself to something really extravagant as a present for being such an astute and clever soul. :0)
I'd buy a rum and raisin Carte D'or ice cream tub..... and scoff the lot! ( now thats what i call treating oneself....lol )

I did that once put £4 worth of diesel instead of unleaded then stopped, paid the £4 but refused to move my car until I rang the RAC they werent happy threatened me with the police ! in the meantime the RAC arrived and said put petrol in to the full amount and everytime your tank uses a quarter fill it up and keep doing that for about a week and you should be okay, luckily it worked but if I had put petrol in a diesel tank they said the tank would have had to be completely washed out. I was on my way to Heathrow to collect a friend and that made me panic all the more.
There probably would have been a couple of drops in and around the nozzle that may have dripped in to the tank, but I doubt any damage has been done. I was literally about to start fueling and something made me look up at the read out which had the diesel price per litre displayed, so immediately yanked the nozzle out
