If you’ve accidentally put diesel in a petrol car in Taunton, Rapid Fuel Rescue provides a fast mobile fuel draining service to safely remove the contaminated fuel and get you back on the road.
Misfuelling can happen quickly, especially when switching vehicles or using unfamiliar pumps. Our specialist technicians operate across Taunton and the surrounding areas, attending petrol stations, homes, workplaces and roadside locations to carry out professional on-site fuel drains.
What Happens if Diesel Is Put in a Petrol Car?
Petrol engines are not designed to run on diesel fuel. Diesel is heavier and does not ignite in the same way as petrol. The diesel will also coat everything in oil which can cause the engine to struggle, misfire or fail to start.
Common situations we attend in Taunton include:
- Diesel added but the vehicle has not been started
- Diesel added and the vehicle has been driven.
- The engine is running rough or producing excessive smoke
If the mistake is caught early, the problem can usually be resolved quickly with a professional fuel drain.
