A relative has just filled their diesel car with unleaded and driven off chugging to a halt very soon afterwards.
Is the engine likely to be ****ed?

Never understood why the nozzles for diesel & petrol are the same shape and/or size.
They're not, diesel nozzles are bigger. I've not tried it but apparently you can't get a diesel nozzle in a petrol hole.
You could be right: I know plenty of people who've done petrol in diesel but not the other way around. Comes with work vans being diesel and your own car generally petrol. Never done it myself :smile:
In flying there is a common saying about any mistake: There are those pilots that have made said mistake, and those that haven't made said mistake...yet.
Don't get complacent, it could cost you a lot! I always double check before I fill up, and I haven't driven a petrol car for over 10 years.

Do what I did, buy a black diesel car so that the pump colour matches the car colour (and also look a bit gangster!)
Could well cost a packet to get it fixed.
I did this in March - exactly one week after getting a new car. Main dealer towed it and fixed it - 650 quid - plus the 50 quids worth of petrol I lost.
Not one of my best days.
In the war people used carbon tetra chloride in Diesel engines!

That's still a bit steep. Don't suppose you know who drained it do you?
