Thats right!!!! one of my staff has done this today and yes he has driven off in it!
cant wait for the huge bill that he is going to have to work off!
honestly, the guy is 45 years old and even drives a diesel car himself!
can you believe it!

my girlfriend did that luckly only drive for about a miles wasnt to bad hope you get it sorted
-
I've done this before and managed to siphon out the petrol using a hand pump I made from a large water pistol.
No damage was done.

did the same just undo your pump from engine pump petrol into 2 or 3 25 litre barrels thats if he not started the van on the petrol his put in it
-
Thats not good, if is a common rail diesel engine the petrol can destroy the seals in the hp pump, if its an older direct injection engine you should be ok, just drain the tank and refill with diesel.

With some vans I believe this can seize the fuel pump (I understand this may be about £2k in a Trafic). Apparently the fuel pumps need the oil content of the diesel in order to run properly.
-
Been there done that! Old perkins engine Rover diesel so once drained not a prob.
-
someone should invent a pump that can be installed at every petrol station in the world that can suck out the fuel before the wally's start the car/van.
