    I think i have put £40 worth of petrol into my diesal car, I didn’t notice at the time (very sure it was black diesal nozzle) and i am still not certain that this is what i have done, i drove 20 miles from the petrol station with car slightly slugish in low gears but put this down to very very wet and lots of water on the road. Car started this morning then went very jurky and konked out! Not sure what to do right now and how much damage will have been done?

      Hi Deb, Sounds very likely that it was a misfuel, The “conking” is the petrol refusing to ignite when compressed, although the engine has made horrible noises it would be unlikely that any long term harm has been done, I would recommend a fuel drain & flush with clean fuel, this will be the only fix your car likely needs

    Likewise. I complained to Tesco and they put in contact with Elliot Duckett at their contact centre in Dundee. He has been very unhelpful so far and although I have had my car repaired, he has still not arranged payment to the garage. After numerous phone calls and emails, I eventually managed to contact him today. He offered a “goodwill gesture” of £100 although I did not have my car for over a week over the Christmas period. Don’t think I will be using Tesco garage again as apparently, this has happened before.
    I was informed that the diesel was incorrectly put into pumps around lunchtime on 23rd and I filled up at 7.00pm. There must have been loads of people who have filled up with the wrong fuel between that time although the Tesco Garage manager said that she only 14 people had come forward. Sounds like a scoop for the Evening News!!!

    I filled up my car with petrol at Tesco Garage at Colinton Mains on 23rd December – it now turns out the fuel in the pump was diesel not petrol(!!!!) my car was towed away and estimates have been ball park £8k to fix it!!! Tesco will be getting a hefty bill. Hope other people see this as they may not realise Tesco have admitted they put diesel in the petrol container

    My daughter put £20 of unleaded in her diesel 2009 corsa sxi without realising until she had driven approx 1.5 miles. The tank had prob about a gallon of diesel in it prior to her mistake. Just as she turned into her friend’s drive the car started smoking slightly and was sluggish. oooops! What now and how much?
