It didn't start very well until I topped it up again but drove fine and was fine for another 50k miles and was fine when I sold it with 120k on the clock, from what I read at the time the fuel pump doesn't like the petrol as it has no lubricant, hence the 2T oil. I wouldn't recommend it but I'd do it again if it was me, or did I get lucky?
Yes, they use the diesel as a lubricant. Unfortunately I didn't realise what I'd done until I'd driven it and did a few grands damage
