Can a citroen Picasso diesel run with a small amount of petrol?

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

How do I drain the fuel tank on my citroen Picasso HDI it's diesel and I've put 20 litres of petrol in it.?

the only safe way is to drop the tank. ( DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR OR START THE ENGINE WITH PETROL IN THE FUEL LINES EVERY THING FROM THE TANK TO THE PUMP WILL NEED TO BE CLEANED. If you had he car towed back home without starting the engine then removing the tank and draining fuel should do. A lot depends on how much diesel was in the tank when you put the petrol in. How much petrol you put with the diesel before You realised the error and whether you got neat petrol up to the injectors. Its a common error running the engine for a few seconds wont matter to much but you don't want petrol in the injector pump at all. If you no very little about mechanics let a professional do it for you as mistakes can be catastrophic.
