This doesn’t give the oil burners a wee bit of extra pep then, heh? I often junk my fuel receipt but I can see here how important it is to keep it, although the transaction could probably be traced via the credit card company.

I did an actual misfuel once earlier in my diesel ownership and was very glad of the Land Rover safety mechanism even if I did have to sit and read the manual for an embarrassingly long time to get it back to normal (and do that walk of shame to pay for a smidge of petrol). At least when I switch back to petrol next year the diesel pump won’t fit in the hole saving my blushes. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

That was fine 25 years ago to prevent waxing, but is not so good in recent common rail high pressure engines. RRS MY17 SDV6 AB
