It was no effort at all. I understand that since petrol in diesel is far worse, it's the petrol nozzle that won't fit into a diesel. I hope never to find out I'm wrong on that!

| @NotAllThere 8,5l isn't much, tbh I'd just top up tank fully with petrol to dilute it (so shall be ~10% diesel if tank is ~70l given you burned something) and simply drive. | |

Life seldom does. It's not a screenplay, Chekhov's Gun doesn't apply. Anyway, it's a Citröen C1 - 35l tank. 8.5l/35 ~ 25% - far too much. If you top up the tank, and pay for 8.5l of fuel, you know, given a 35l tank, that's 26.6l of unleaded that was already there.
Anyway. Guy turns up with tow truck at 9:00 as promised, takes car to garage - with using the truck and our luggage packed in the car. We explored the local town. At about 11:15 our car was driven past us by the mechanic, so we knew all was well.
The recovery was paid for by insurance, but the total cost was... around 18 francs a litre. It could have been worse. As my daughter said (it's actually her car) - it could have been her making that mistake!
