10 litres of petrol in a diesel is enough to be a real risk, especially if the tank wasn't nearly full when it went in. The petrol reduces the lubrication the diesel pump relies on, so don't start the engine — the safe course is a drain and flush before you drive. Call 0800 170 0644 and we'll advise on your exact situation.

**In an emergency:** don't start the engine and call 0800 170 0644.
