WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU PUT WRONG FUEL IN CAR

Adding petrol to a diesel vehicle has more severe consequences than the reverse.

Diesel fuel acts as a lubricative oil, making sure the engine parts run smoothly and helping to minimise wear and tear. However, when petrol is added to diesel car, the mixture this creates behaves like a solvent that dissolves the lubricant in the fuel system.

If you start your diesel car after adding petrol fuel, this mixture will circulate – and friction between the vehicle’s components will increase, which can cause damage to vital parts such as the fuel lines and pump. Petrol in a diesel engine can also cause damage to the catalytic converter.

The damage caused by adding the wrong fuel to a diesel car and then starting it can be severe – and in some cases, a complete replacement of the fuel system may be necessary. If you have put the wrong fuel in your diesel car, follow the step-by-step process above to keep any damage to a minimum.
