Whoops, just put 1.5litres of diesel into my airbay. Have diluted it with 30litres of petrol and seems to be driving OK.
Am in Tiree, should I be worried? Any advice?
Cheers

Keep topping the tank up, and keep driving, you might get away with it as 1 1/2 litres is not a lot, also these vehicles were designed to run on dirty fuel....
Good luck.....

Thanks everyone - I've made it home. Didnt notice anything different about the van, so looks like no harm done this time - phew!! Will get some STP cleaner tomorrow.
Kiteman - it took considerable effort, but you can get the diesel hose into the unleaded hole if you force it!!
Have Google Translated what Tim just said - "Kombi has that prevention insertion sir!". Hmmm.

It didn't translate it correctly, what I said was 'Kombi DOESN'T have the prevention insert sir!'
