coming home just after a BUSY day at work and thought i would put sum fuel in my 1997 Corsa 1.2 , put £15 in and put the handle back - then realised, FUCKKKKKK!!! its a petrol i knew not to start it up
So just brimmed the tank with a extra £32 of petrol after a mnechanic told me
just gotta keep topping up and get a fuel filter when its passed through.
I am seriously Gutted
also when puttin petrol in the pump keeps clicking when like its full when its not - any ideas?? i tryed like every angle you can lol.

you'll be fine tom. it is a strong but basic engine design.
an associate of mine did exactly the same thing with the same engine.
just be cautious and no need to stress,
but yes.. change the fuel filter afterwards.
