Home is where you've personalised the router's SSID.

Ooops - Vivien just put petrol in our diesel car...
I did that once over 20 years ago, but that was away from home at midnight on a Saturday - cost an arm and a leg to get lifted from the petrol station and taken to the depot for draining out. This time she managed to get back home from the local garage...
Ignominious:
I think you"ll still need to get drained out.
Usually you can get moving again on the diesel still in the sustem but, once you stop with the petrol in the mix, you won't get started again. I'd imagine a few hundred quid the get fixed.
pwhodges:
£238 - tomorrow morning.
Plus £50 for the fuel that's going down the drain (metaphorically).
I know about it all from last time, which being at night away from home cost £350 - 20 years ago - for a lift-tow to the depot where they sorted it in the small hours... At least that time I realised before turning the engine, so the fuel feed and injectors were still full of the right stuff.
JoeCovenant:
I've only ever done that once...
And I was SO lucky that I had only just started to pump the petrol when I realised "This nozzle isn't black!"
So, I only had the minimum spend in the tank, and then utterly filled it with diesel... then shook the car as hard as I could !! :)
I was dreading starting it up though, just in case, but every website I could find (standing away from the pumps!) said it 'should' be alright for so small an amount...
