What Happens if You Put Petrol in a Diesel Car?
Petrol strips the lubrication that diesel fuel normally provides the fuel pump and injectors. Even a short drive after misfueled can score the pump, contaminate injectors, and force fuel into the engine. Do not start or drive a diesel vehicle after a petrol fill—call for professional fuel drain assistance immediately.
Diesel in a petrol engine is generally less damaging but still needs a complete drain; the engine may run roughly, smoke, or stall. Either way, the fuel system must be fully flushed before the vehicle is driven again.

Got Questions About Wrong Fuel? We've Got Straight Answers
Will Wrong Fuel Damage Void My Warranty?
It can. A professional drain completed before starting the engine reduces risk significantly. Always request written documentation for your records.
How Much Does a Wrong Fuel Drain Cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle type, tank size, and whether the engine was started. Contact us directly for transparent, upfront pricing.
Can I Drive a Short Distance After Putting in the Wrong Fuel?
No. Even a short distance accelerates damage, especially in diesel vehicles. Stop immediately, switch off the engine, and call for help.
