Hello chaps, I thought I would check with you on this one.
In my rush during school run today I put 8 litres of Shell Optimax Diesel in the P6. There was about 3 litres of petrol in there already.
I have topped it up with 20L of Optimax un-leaded, and driven it 2 miles home - so the current mixture is around 23L un-leaded and 8L diesel (30%).
Should I top it up more to dilute the diesel and continue to run as-is, maybe cleaning the plugs in week or so or drain the tank (which is a pain).
Current consumption is only 20 mpg (at best) and so I'll be back to normal in a week.
I understand an 8-10% diesel to un-leaded ratio should be OK, and diesel is thicker, but I have an electric pusher pump.
Recommendations would be appreciated - many thanks, Simon
