Ahhhh I've just diesel into my car what *bleep* got someone on the way to drain the tank and system.
I drove about 20foot before it stopped, have I shagged my car?
I hope not.

No, it will be fine.

Drain fuel, shove in petrol, turn can over with EFI fuse pulled and then start - prepare for lumpy running and smoke, but it will be fine

I would drive gently for the first tankful and run it right down low before refilling. There will still be traces of diesel mixed in which will lower the RON.
