I'm an idiot! Petrol into a diesel

[hachiroku]

it does sound a bit like air in the fuel system, had very similar probelms after my Blingo ran out of diesel, would start ok and then not start at all, frequent priming was needed (and I could also see air bubbles in the pipework).
Eventually sorted itself out though.cratch:

Thanks, I'm hoping after the primer was replaced it will sort itself out. Mechanic told me seeing airbubbles from primer hose was normal/ok!? We'll see tomorrow!

Battery, maybe?

I'd have felt better about it all if they'd drained the tank of as much fuel as possible before topping up with diesel after the misfill. (£30 is what, half a tank of gasoline?)

I'm hoping after a year's gone by since he filled up with petrol he's sorted it.
