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 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!

Pretty sure it will be fine based purely on advice given on similar threads

done it to dilute the veggie oil I used, that was going a bit thick. Worked a treat.

Its broken, don't drive it and I'll pay you £150 to take it away and destroy it before any kittens are killed.

I put half a tank of unleaded into my diesel van a few months ago, just kept brimming it and was fine.

That's what? c1.5% of a full tank? I wouldn't give it another thought. Until you go to pick up the green pump again anyway!

My old man put a 1/4 tank of unleaded in their multipla diesel. Said it actually ran a lot better!

Cheers! I found the receipt and its 0.88 of a litre at £1,17! Then approx 50 litres of standard shell diesel. Bit worried, but i think it should be ok! I hope it is....!
