What Happens When You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car?
If you realize you have misfuelled, turn off your engine immediately (if it isn't already stalled) and do not turn the ignition back on. Turning the key engages the fuel pump, circulating the contaminated fuel through your vehicle's sensitive injectors and high-pressure pumps.
1. Petrol in a Diesel Engine (The Most Common Error)
Unleaded petrol acts as a solvent rather than a lubricant in diesel engines. Running the engine with petrol can severely damage the fuel pump and common-rail injectors.
2. Diesel in a Petrol Engine
- Diesel is much heavier than petrol, coating the spark plugs and causing severe misfiring, heavy exhaust smoke, and immediate engine stalling.
