What Happens if You Put Petrol in a Diesel Car?
Diesel engines rely on diesel fuel to lubricate vital components such as the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors. Petrol does not provide this lubrication and can cause serious damage if the engine continues running.
Common situations we attend in Taunton include:
- Petrol added but the engine has not been started
- Petrol added and the vehicle has been driven
- Misfuelling discovered at the petrol station
- Engine running rough or cutting out after misfuelling
If you realise the mistake before starting the vehicle, the repair is usually straightforward and can often be completed quickly at the roadside.
