I have been driving a diesel car but have been putting petrol in this. I have been doing this for at least 4 days with around 50 miles done each day. I did notice smoke coming out the car upon startup on day 4 and loss of power during 1st gear. The car wouldn't start at the end of the 4th day. It did eventually after leaving it to cool off for around 20 minutes. I only noticed the problem of wrong fuel after all this and have read that it can be quite costly to repair if left for too long. How much am I looking at? The car is quite old, a 2007 reg and has done just over 100,000 miles. I'm worried the engine could be damaged quite badly as it was chugging upon startup but it was running ok when I was doing 50-60 mph on motorways.
