Petrol in a Diesel Car
Filling up petrol in a diesel vehicle can be detrimental to the fuel system if not dealt with properly.
Petrol in diesel vehicles act as a solvent, reducing lubrication and has the potential to cause extensive damage to your cars engine and diesel pump.
It is vital you do not start your engine as this circulates the petrol through the system and can cause contamination to other components in the fuel system, which could cost you extensively or cause irreparable damage to the engine.
We can safely resolve this problem, contact us as soon as you have realised you have put petrol into your diesel engine, and our qualified team will get you safely back on the road.
Diesel in a Petrol Car
Accidentally filling your petrol car with diesel is a very common problem. If dealt with straight away, your car can be saved from serious damage.
Driving with diesel in a petrol car risks damaging the motor of your vehicle. If the engine is started, the diesel fuel will foul the spark plugs. This may cause misfiring, and the engine exhaust will blow excessive smoke and the engine will choke/cut out or fail to start entirely.
The only way to safely resolve this issue is to remove the diesel from your car immediately from a qualified fuel technician.
