"Faced with my daughter's boyfriend filling her VW Beetle up with diesel I had the job of sorting it out and ended up with 4 gallons of almost neat diesel, it went in the Seven to give a 50/50 mix which loved it, a bit smelly when cold but OK when hot."
As usual, Dave comes up with proper, empirical evidence. There's been lots of discussion about adding TVO and diesel to petrol over many years and an interesting page with a distillation (sorry!) of the facts can be found here: https://www.fbhvc.co.uk/fuels
