Depends on how much petrol you put into it.
You could gift it to someone who is running an earlier diesel engine. My old Pug (R plate 406) could run up to 30% petrol in the diesel. Also check your manual, since there are some modern diesels can also run it (My L200 will run at 30% quite happily). Just need to work out the ratio of petrol to diesel, and then mix accordingly. 7 Gallons is a lot to write off....Fight Crime : Shoot Back.
It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without being seduced by it.

And if they don't want it for any other purpose they will probably dispose of it for you at minimal cost. It's only about £35 after all.
Don't be tempted to pour it down the drain.:cool:0 -
