Siphoning wrong fuel Volvo V50
Evening all,
Just took a call from the wife saying she's put unleaded in instead of Diesel, £25 worth. AA picking car up, but what's the best way of solving this? Should I just fill the rest up with diesel or is there a better way of getting the unleaded out? Would assume siphoning will be difficult in most cars these days? Volvo V50, 58 plate. TIA |

I would probably call out one of the flushing teams that visit and get them to do it. I don’t think it’s an easy task to symphon the fuel out and as I understand it a lot of the guys that do this service are not that expensive. |

Can the AA not deal with it for you?
AA fuel assist I'd think £25 worth of unleaded in the tank of a V40 might be a bit much to just top up with diesel and run it through.

I did think that would be the case, the AA bloke said I should be fine to do, top it up then buy a new fuel filter. They wanted £200 to do it for her. Will have to get my googling boots on. Cheers. |

Aah, so 'No hidden costs' means they just tell you how much they want before they come out
