Would have been a ****er if it was 6 litres of doozil in a petrol engine though!

Or run it almost empty to get rid of the petrol mix as soon as possible.
I did the same, 12 litres then brimmed the tank with diesel, about 50,000 miles ago and no problems yet.

Some people still do - (me for one) - when the temperature drops to much below -25 degrees C and I don't trust the diesel supplier to have put in the right anti-waxing additive. (In Kosovo we used paraffin mostly.)
6 litres is right on the accepted limit of 10% mix, though.
Shouldn't do any harm.
I would use half the tank and then top up again as Hippo suggests.

i ahve heard that people used to put a bit of petrol in diesel, thought it was an lod wives tale, obviously notSome people still do - (me for one) - when the temperature drops to much below -25 degrees C and I don't trust the diesel supplier to have put in the right anti-waxing additive.

, i would have thought changing the fuel filter once the petrol is out would be a good idea? martynSimilar threads
