Undo fuel line. Get bucket handy and short out B+ and FP in diagnostic port. If only small amount start up, check all ok, and go fill up.

Thought there was a drain plug for the petrol tank?
Ive got about 1/4 tank of petrol, would it be ok if i brim it with v power so old and new mixed?

Pour oil into the inlet until it stalls, a pint! Thats insane.

I would remove the plugs, squirt in some oil, turn the engine a few turns to spread it about then refit the plugs. When you return you must evacuate the oil or risk compressing it. Remove the plugs and turn the engine on the starter to clear the oil. You could disconnect the injectors to stop it fueling but if you plan on starting it right away it wont hurt. Refit the pulgs and drive off.

In eaither case oil in a cat is a bad idea so ignore both if you have a cat.
