Unfortunate cock-up James, but you don't have to feel stupid on your own. I put unleaded in my Diesel Mitsubishi a few years ago. Only time in my life I ever mis-fueled a vehicle. Dunno what I was thinking at the time. At least the penny dropped when the tank was about half full. I think it was the petrol smell that made me realise. I didn't want to start the engine, or even turn the ignition key on (wasn't sure if it had an electric fuel pump). Servo owner let me push the vehicle over to the side of the forecourt and drain the tank into an oil-change pan, then decant it into a couple of plastic jerry cans, all of which I had to buy from Supercheap Auto which was just a short walk away around the corner. After doing all that, I then realised I needed another fuel container and funnel to put diesel in the tank because it was bone dry and the hose from the fuel bowser wouldn't reach to where my car was, so I had to go for another walk to Supercheap. It all cost about an hour of farting about and buying stuff that I wouldn't otherwise have bought. Now I have more fuel containers, oil drain pans and funnels than I know what to do with. But the thing that pissed me off most is having to pay for half a tank of unleaded that I couldn't use in another vehicle because it was contaminated with diesel.
