(feel free to move to the "Numpty thread" section)
Just putting my mind at rest really, in that I haven't knackered my 'Mera.
Last night my flat-mate accidentally put 7ltres of premium unleaded in the (almost empty) fuel-tank. I immediately spotted what he'd done and before turning over the engine, I pushed the car forward to the next pump and put in another 30ltres of derv.
I then carefully drove the 15 miles home where I filled the tank up to the brim, with a gerry-can of derv waiting at home. (@V-SpecII , your suspicions from our P.M.'s can hereby be confirmed! guilty as charged. lol)
Ok, I've always been under the impression that a 3:1 mix of dervetrol was nothing too major but have been reading shedloads of horror stories on the web.
WHat I can do (have access to here at home) is some 2-stroke engine oil AND some kero-heating oil. should I be adding any of this? I can always go and get some redex (yes, I know Forte would be better but all the auto factors are 30 odd miles away).
So. following the tl:dr bit, questions is :-
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
chears in advance all.
