urrrrrrrmmm.... no
oh wait... makin fires n explosions.
polystyrene dissolves into petrol to make napalm as well in case ur interested...
Why have they been mixed in the first place?
You can make a Molotov cocktail.
mix it another 50/50 of unleaded then use it in an unleaded car, it may smoke slightly but wont do no harm
but how much do u trust helppaul? could end up bein expensive if hes wrong, n you wouldn't have much comeback...
You would wreck your car with that paul, I would get rid of it personally...
id have to agree with u on tht caz to b fair. petrol engines are not made for diesel n vice versa. plus i know ure always right caz ; )
lol geff, I wish!

Thank you all, though not too helpful. I'll try using it to clean paint brushes.
No idea what to do with it.
But for GAWD'S SAKE. Don't pour it down the drain.
Be sensible and dispose of it at your local coucil tip !!!!!
depending what quantity you have,you may find someone running an older diesel engine could use it. i used to put a small amount of petrol in the diesel of my lorry years ago to stop it waxing up.
obviously you can't do this with modern cars but big lumpy lorry engines won't mind a small amount mixed in with a full tank of diesel. possibly a tractor/farmer.
failing that ; molotov cocktail for mad ken in london. (i'm only half joking! )

Thank you Marka, the first sensible answer. I'm sure there is know need for only half a joke where Mad Ken is concerned.
How about wait for november the 5th and use it to start bonfires....
Best bet is to get rid of it in the used oil at your local tip. This is recycled for various uses. Better this than to use it in an un-safe manner. I wouldn't use it for paint brushes as the petrol can cause skin disease and the diesel element would leave a residue on the brushes.
I have a ex-Soviet truck that will run on it. How much have you got and are you anywhere near Norfolk?
