the wife put about £3.50 of petrol in our diesel Picasso ( by mistake), she topped it up with a bout £20 worth of Diesel, i spoke to a fitter at work who said there shouls not be a problem so long as we kept refueling frequently & did not allow the fuel to get on the red. He informed me that the petrol removes to lubricant from the fuel pump & that is what naks the car up, if you kep re-filling the tank with Diesel it dilutes the petrol so it reduces the effect it has on the pump. hope this helps

Have got petrol in diesel citroen Picasso what do you need to do?
I have a 52 plate Picasso and my slightly dimmer half put 20 pounds of petrol in my diesel car. There was about 5 - 10 pounds of diesel already in the tank. I simply syphoned the tank with a hose and a bucket. doesnt taste nice i know, then filled it with diesel and a fuel treatment and ive had no problems since. this was a year ago now. Its not usually bad this way round as truck drivers put a small amount of petrol in their tanks to stop them freezing in the winter. its when you put diesel in a petrol engine that you've got a problem.
