How can we confirm this without seeing the warranty documentation? If its caused damage then most warrantys won't cover the issue as it would be user damaged.0

How would the dealership or manufacturer know that petrol was put into the car by accident?
What damage could occur simply by putting the wrong fuel in a car but not starting it, draining all the bad fuel and putting correct back in?All your base are belong to us.0 -

A mechanic friend of mine told me IF I ever put petrol in my diesel (as long as it was up to about a tenners worth) then to fill it up to the brim with diesel and it should dilute enough to be ok.
However, diesel in a petrol apparently kills it completely.

That used to be the case with older diesels, but not with modern ones that run at much higher pressures, and have much tighter tolerances. They are designed to be lubricated by the diesel.0 -
