Idiot23 asked:
I’ve doen something idiotic. Was mowing the lawn for an elderly relative and in an early morning stupor put motor oil in a half-filled petrol tank rather than unleaded petrol! Subsequently it won’t start. I was too embarassed to admit my mistake and the relative (who’s pride and joy is his lawn) is now really worried. How can I empty the petrol tank safely - and will any damage have been caused by the motor oil?
