It had to happen............I just put @82 cents worth of unleaded petrol in my new Prado GXL Turbo Diesel. As soon as I realised I pulled the pump, and then topped the tanks up to the 180 litre full capacity with diesel. Think I had about 45 litres already in the tank (diesel that is). Drove home and car seems fine. Question.....am I good to go, or do I need to take it back to the dealer and get the tanks drained. Will less than a litre of unleaded have any effect on the engine or seals?

Probably not a good time to Welcome you to Pradopoint, but welcome anyway.
Not a good thing & all to easily done.
My understanding is that additives such as mentholated spirits & petrol don't have any lubricating properties for the injectors. Kerosene is sometimes used as a winter additive.
As it was only 3/4 of a litre I personally don't think you have a problem but it would not hurt to ring Toyota? or one of the major fuel companies for re- assurance.
