expense for repair of using wrong type of fuel?

2011-10-07 12:46 am
so,, first of all..im asking from australia
last night.. when my car had got an almost empy fuel tank.. i rushed to the petro station and refuel.. but maybe it was because i was too anxcious.. and was too worried about the situation.. i filled the tank with the wrong type of fuel... with my unleaded petrol car being filled with diesel...
so.. the tank was about 40% filled with petrol.. I'm an unexperienced driver... so after that... i even turned on the engine.. to see if the tank has indeed been refueled or not.. but the engine was on for only like 5 seconds,, after that,, i turned it off immediately..
finally, i called the emergency service from NRMA and they sent a tow truck to tow away my car.. and my car is a toyota yaris....
so,, guys. according to the above information.... how much do u think wud probably be the repair cost? for draining the tank... perhaps doing some other inspections and stuff like that???
thank you very much...

sorry guys.. in the line...." the tank was about 40% filled with petrol..." it should be changed into "the tank was about 40 % filled with diesel" again.. just to remind u that it is a unleaded petrol car... being filled with diesel now (40%) with almost none of petro left (coz it was almost empty before i refuel) and i did start the engine... but only for 5 seconds... so ...possible repair cost?

Not too bad.
Draining the tank and flushing the fuel system.
About two hours of 'shop time' at local rates.

You would probably need a complete fuel system flush. Draining the tank and flush, probably replace the fuel filter, and clean the complete fuel injector system. Check with a mechanic what the cost would be. You may have messed up a lot of sensors also as diesel fuel is dirty fuel.
