So fill up with fuel, drive off down road and all of a sudden lots of white smoke and stop dead. Mmmmmmm me thinks whats up, scratch head, look under bonnet, all ok there, damn whats wrong?? Then light bulb moment, have a look at receipt and bugger it says 23.5 litres of Diesel, who put that in there ??? Silly old git. So get her on recovery truck, back to my garage, look to drain tank, Oh drain does not move, look in Haynes manual it seems it sealed at factory, bother and damn or similar terms. So cut length off my garden hose, fiddle down into tank, put mouth over filler pipe and blow and hey presto out comes diesel into my cans, bowl, milk bottles etc, nearly all out, put 2 cans of petrol in, top off carb clean out float bowl, fuel pipe of pump and blow any diesel in line back to tank, crank engine to clear pump, clear out float bowl again, fill with petrol, refit pipe and carb top. Start up, she runs a bit smoky as some diesel still in tank now mixed with petrol, so up road top right up with petrol this time and she is all good again. Phew!!!!! only wasted 1.5 hrs and £30 odd on diesel.
Just offered to fill missus car up with petrol but she has declined my offer, not sure why
