Ford S-MAX has been misfuelled - what can I do?

I put unleaded in my Ford S-MAX 2.0 TDCI.

The diesel ran low (20 miles left approx) so went to fill up, got distracted and put in 31 litres unleaded. Did not turn engine on and have siphoned out approx 18 litres - unable to suck out anymore.

Will I escape with a fill up to max 70 litres or is further attention required?

No. Not in this circumstance. You need to call in the specialists. Do not start the engine. www.autofuelfix.com/
