    Definitely diesel, but it was a van, not a vin...

    I don't know if the combustion chamber temp would be all that much
    higher under CI conditions, so piston damage might not arise; but I'd
    think the injection pump would object to running on a nearly all petrol
    mix. Lube qualities of diesel fuel are very important for IPs.

    I did the same with my diesel Rover 10 years ago - put about 1/2 tank
    of petrol in before I realised. I just filled the other 1/2 with
    diesel and drove it, and kept topping it up every 50 miles or so. It
    was fine.

    Seems to be the higher pressure common rail diesel pumps that do not
    like petrol. Mate here put his Astra pump out in just a few minutes.

    Sounds quite cheap, guy at work got stung for £4K plus when he filled
    his wife's company cage with unleaded instead of diesel.

    Unfortunately that all changed with high pressure common rail electronic
    injection. They rely heavily on the nominal viscosity of the fuel. Add
    petrol to the mix and you will run rich to the point of flooding it.
    Plus VAG say that if you put any petrol in their new diesel engines you
    must change the lines, pump, filters and injectors. I can't see why
    except at a good ploy to sell expensive spares.
