Just put 27 litres of petrol in my car................and it's a fucking diesel.......now waiting for the RAC to charge me £180 to drain it.......what a fucking Dick :'(
As long as you did not start it and drive it all it needs is to drain the tank.
How much diesel was in the tank and how much does the tank hold?
Check to see if there is drain plug on the bottom of the tank. If not siphon out as much as you possibly can into something. You will buy a lot of 10 or 20 litre drums and hose for £180. You do not necessarily have to drain it completely just get as much as you can out of it. Then fill it to the brim with fresh diesel. :thumbup
Depending on how much diesel to petrol is mixed it will work fine for a lawnmower.
I'm surprised to see a Scotsman so willing to give money freely to the AA :lol

It's good advice but being stuck on a petrol forecourt with my daughter in the car I thought it may not be the cheapest option but the best one.
It's been an expensive couple of months with bike tax, insurance and MOT, along with my car tax and insurance, the wife's car insurance and now this.......it's beans on toast for the next few weeks!!!!
