How much petrol in a diesel is safe?
There's no official safe threshold — modern common-rail diesels are sensitive. Small amounts heavily diluted with diesel are lower risk, but if in doubt, don't start the engine and have it drained.
In an emergency: don't start the engine and call 0800 170 0644. We drain the wrong fuel on-site, 24/7, 365 days a year.
