Have i killed my car

[chili]

Added £48 worth of unleaded to a diesel, but on top of that i have drove 7 miles to work, tonight got in it and it sounds like its rattling itself to bits and engulfed in exhaust smoke not happy at all

Not good don't use untill it's been drained and flushed.
Hp fuel pump may require changing

[Samyam]

Drain it fill with diesel and put abit of 2 stroke oil in you might be lucky!!

I always thought the nozzles in the petrol pumps couldn't be inserted into a diesel car as they're a bigger size.

[Nicksri]

A guy on facebook had real issues after this. Get it drianed asap, change the filters and get some descent fuel in it and hope its ok. Hopefully you are lucky

Phone those lovely women who are not married ,who come out and drain your fuel tank .
They are called Miss- fuel
As RBH says the nozzles are different sizes so should not fit the hole
But I know I'm guilty of trying to put things in the wrong hole .

It's the other around, diesel nozzle doesn't fit in a petrol car as it's larger.

I knew it was something

I think diesel drivers have to compensate something

You could be onto something

In topic normally the high pressure diesel pump at the engine is lubricated by the diesel. Petrol doesn't does this which damage it.

Yeah, it's the other way round. Obviously can only be one way or the other....another reason why it's better to buy a petrol
But on a serious note, really gutted for you, hope you get it sorted without too many hassles.

At every petrol station around me the petrol nozzle is way to big to fit in a diesel

[Drew]

Can't think why they make it that way round, put petrol in a diesel and it does more damage (fuel pump injectors etc) than diesel in a petrol = lots of smoke!
