This morning my wife inadvertently put 25 litres of petrol into the fuel tank of our 1.9 Multijet diesel Sedici (which had about 8-10 litres of diesel still in it). She then drove six miles home and complained that the engine was "a bit noisy". I checked and it is, but it started okay and when I smelt petrol from the exhaust she realised what she had done and told me.
Question is should I risk driving it to my local garage (less than a mile) and get them to drain the system, or get the AA to deal with it – if indeed they will ? And is there likely to be any permanent, expensive damage to the engine, which has done 66k miles?
Fearing the worst but hoping for some help!
