wrong fuel

[pualmc66]

my friend (honest , it was my friend) has just put about 15litres of unleaded in his A series 2litre diesel.
How does he get the contaminated fuel out guys?

Fill it up to the brim with Diesel and keep it filled up ie; fill up every couple of days for the next 200--300 milesand then carry on as normal. All should be O.K.

Yep. At every single opportunity fill it up with diesel, even if it means you're putting £2 of fuel in.

If you want to be messy fill it up and syphon as much of it out as possible then fill up again, you can use up the derv/petrol mix a few litres per tankfull.

6 liters per tank full on a common rail is the most that you will get away with, I wold take some out as Wireman.

Drain it. We put 24l in an E - and sent it to the garage on a truck. Didn't turn the key. 2-3l should be ok or even 6 as per Malcolm, but 15l - not worth the risk on a modern CDI.

I do know people who have driven on 100% unleaded until it died and got away with it (twice for one person) but I wouldn't risk it - the cost is too great if you don't get away with it. The garage charged us £60 to drain it. It's £3k if it goes wrong so not worth the gamble.
