   3. Anything more than 5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 207 Hdi ought to straightaway be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance issues ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your 207 Hdi?

Continually driving a car that is currently starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely bring about increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of risk affiliated with running a Diesel motor on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Possible consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and so on.
