Was that to make it look like you returned to the garage for a reason other than you had filled up with the wrong fuel :lol:

Not really got any expertise on this but I'd say if you hadn't started it then no probs but it'll be right through the system since you drove it enough to make it hiccup :roll:

Definitely need new fuel filters.

It's OK Sanjoy, the Newbridge services are used to having muppets on their forecourt.... I locked my keys in my car next to their pump (well, it was my wifes fault, cos I was in paying and she decided to lock my door from the inside and then come look for chocolate).

My spare set were at home, which luckily for me was also in Newbridge at the time.... unluckily, my house key was on the same chain locked inside the car.

Had to run home and put a spade through the kitchen window to get the 2nd set.

I thought diesel cars would run on anything, including petrol.
