There is a small percentage of cases where it doesn't end badly however the large majority will end up requiring expensive repairs especially if continuing to run the wrong fuel through the system.
Yeh doing a bit of reading up at the moment. We've gone passed the "try save it" stage as we've run 3/4 tank through already. When it was filled with petrol last weekend, it filled 33 litres, so about 50%. Dad ran it till it had about 100kms left in the tank then filled it with diesel. We'll keep filling it up to dilute any remaining petrol in there. Its too late to drain given the amount of petrol that has gone through the system already.

If its stuffed, its stuffed, nothing he can do now. But its sounding healthy again so fingers crossed. I'm taking it for a run tomorrow so will get a feel if something still isn't right.
