Hi guys. I got mixed up with fuel tonight and put in a few litres of BP Ultimate petrol thinking it was Ultimate diesel... realising my mistake I stopped quickly and filled the rest with standard diesel (before starting it) and took the decision to start it and run home just a few miles. It's a TDI 90 on 117K. Before I go on, anyone that says I shouldn't have started it - well I already have so it's not useful!
So assuming the 25% petrol, 75% diesel mix hasn't been catastrophic as it drove fine at low revs home, I've come to the realisation it needs draining before it does knacker anything. I already have a fuel filter as I was going to do that anyway so my question; when I do the filter (as per posts from the forum) is it easy to drain the fuel tank without syphoning?
Is there anything else I should do to ensure the contaminated fuel is removed or cleared through?
It's not been a good day...
