You put petrol in diesel astra and ran it by mistake it wont start now how can you mend it?
There is only two ways to fix this problem.
easy way,...drain fuel tank,remove fuel filter, install fresh fuel, crank engine until the fuel line pumps new clean fuel, replace fuel filter, crank till engine starts. If engine does not start, loosen up fuel line connectors at engine block so the clean fuel can pump out the remainder of durty fuel. when the durty fuel is removed gently tighten the injector fuel lines back till they stop leaking. Engine should start.
If the engine fails to start you may have a damaged fuel lift pump which has to be replaced. If it still doesnt start you probly have damaged your fuel injector pump aswell, which is very expensive to repair. Good luck
