Help!

Just put 0.88 of a litre of unleaded in my 2007 (E90) BMW 3 series diesel. I filled the rest of the tank up with diesel (£72.00 worth) after realising i'd put the unleaded in. The AA website says under 5 litres should be ok and drive as normal. I've driven the car home from the garage which is one mile.

Any suggestions ? Cheers in advance!

It will be fine, top it up and blast down the motorway for 5 minutes.

Doesn't fuel normally have slight impurities anyway? can't honestly see how it would hurt.

Put £1.70 worth of Unleaded in the wife's C4 a couple of months ago.

There was over 1/4 of diesel in the tank already and fortunately enough I realised quickly enough to fill the rest of the tank with diesel.

Every couple of days, topped the tank up to dilute the petrol, not a single issue since.

You should be fine.
