Today my friend took my Hundai Grand i10 cdri Diesel car. And he accidentally filled up 120 rs(nearly 1 ltr) of petrol when the petrol pump guy realized that this isn't petrol car. PPump guy advised him to fill up 10 litre diesel so that there would not be any problem. He drove 50 km and returned me Car and narrated the incidence. I searched on internet and I found that immediately tank should have been drained and fresh Diesel should have been filled up. What I can do now.

Petrol nozzles are thinner than diesel for a reason .. in ideal world your story is all fake ..anyways .back to OP

By mistake is some amount of petrol is added in Diesel.car it's just fine...take it for long run and add more diesel ... Diesel engine can handle such small amount without an issue.. .biggest problem is petrol is dry fuel where as diesel act as lubricant for injectors ..if petrol is added in small quantity it won't cause any damage ..

ok guys.. two scenarios we have to discuss as written by bikidas in above comment.. any expert opinions or threads from other websites in this regard?

Hmm. I had given a rather black n white/ usual answer. But that's not correct. US military uses multi fuel engines. You can use marine oil, diesel, kerosene and even petrol for emergency conditions in those vehicles. 🙂🙂🙂

It happened with me many years ago when pump attendants were not aware that Honda started selling diesel cars, it was 3 litre petrol in an empty diesel tank at that time. I did not drive but got it towed to the service center, they empted the tank and ran some engine tests, car ran fine 90k km and no issues till date. As everyone suggested, get the fuel tank empty as soon as possible for piece of mind.
