I always thought it was more problematic the other way round. Isn't redex pretty much just unleaded petrol and is added as a supplement.
I believe petrol cars are pretty sympathetic to being filled with diesel but not the other way around!!

Petrol cars bung up as the diesel forms a gel type sludge in the pumps and injectors, where as in dervs the petrol just strips a bit of the pub and life from the fuel injection equipment. Not to mention that diesel in a petrol will ruin the lambda sensors and cat too.
If you're gonna screw up, put petrol in the diesel car.

Did it 10 years ago on an old 309 and was fine. I'm told this new fangled stuff is more sensitive though. Kind of like 'modern' blokes I guess...

Had the tank drained and refiled with diesel. Seems to be fine so far, I suppose time will tell.

I was always told that as well but it's not true. If you press it it'll go. I know this as my darling wife put diesel in my mk5 R32!Diesel nozzles are larger than petrol so you can get a petrol nozzle in a diesel but not the other way round.
