Ooops, borrowed a friends car, a peugeot 106 diesel and put petrol in
it.. Fuel guage was in the red, I put in 2.5 litres of petrol and
stopped... Then filled it with another 25 litres of diesel.. Just
driven 25 miles and it seemed fine, faster in fact?!!?
Question is, will it have or will be doing damage??

On that, you'll be fine.

Don't do it on any newer diesel, though.

Sigh of relief here... Thanks people!

so is it my imagination that it went better/faster with the little
petrol in it or does it do anything like make the diesel more
explosive..?
Probably i was just waiting for something to happen, driving along
waiting for the splutter and death!!

More volatile stuff - like petrol - is put in diesel in winter, to lower
freezing point, and make it ignite a little easier.
