What to Do if You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car

Putting petrol in a diesel car, or diesel in a petrol car, happens more often than you think. The key is to act quickly and correctly to avoid costly engine damage.

1. Don’t Start the Engine

Starting the car can circulate the wrong fuel and cause severe damage. Always remove the keys immediately.

2. Move to a Safe Spot

Shift the car into neutral and move it safely out of traffic. If you’re at a petrol station, ask for help to push the car to a safe location.

3. Call Mobile Car Diagnostics – 07513 637663

Our Fuel Assist team will come to your location, drain the wrong fuel, and refill your tank with the correct fuel so you can get moving again.

Petrol in a Diesel Engine

Petrol can cause serious damage to diesel engines. Diesel acts as a lubricant for the fuel system, while petrol increases friction between moving parts. Common rail and HDi diesel engines are particularly sensitive. Severe cases may require replacement of fuel pumps, injectors, filters, pipes, or even the entire engine.

Diesel in a Petrol Engine

Diesel in a petrol tank is less common and generally less damaging. Diesel may clog spark plugs and fuel lines, preventing the engine from starting, but once drained, the petrol engine usually suffers no permanent damage.
