From the
technical perspective, it is very much possible to refuel a diesel car with
unleaded. This is because; petrol dispenser nozzle perfectly fits into the
opening of diesel tank. If such things happen by mistake, it is very important
to remember that you must not start up the car nor drive it along the motorway.

Contaminated
oil even in the slightest amount may change the flash point and damage the
engine. If such things happen, call in a reliable breakdown service provider.
But before that, you should tow your car to a safe place where the wrong fuel
can be flushed out without any hassle. If you have bought the car recently,
better it will be to get into touch with the nearest authorized repairing
center.

The
opposite is technically impossible as the diesel dispenser nozzle never fits in
petrol tank opening. However, if a few drops of diesel enter into a petrol car,
the car tank might need to be emptied depending on the amount of wrong fuel
gone into it. To be on the safe side, you should get the wrong fuel removed before
refilling the tank with the right kind.

E10 petrol: If a non
E10 compatible petrol car is filled with E10, it is not mandatory to take out
wrong fuel as there is no imminent danger for your car engine. However, the car
needs to be refueled with the correct fuel as early as possible, provided one
half or one third of the contaminated fuel has already been used up. However,
there is a chance that use of E10 petrol may adversely affect the car’s winter
start-up and driveability for a while.

Biodiesel: If you place
biodiesel in a car that does not support it, any immediate problem is less
likely. But in the long run, it will deteriorate emission control system of the
vehicle. So in such cases, the tank should be emptied to avoid heavy expenses
for repairing service in future.

So you can
see whether you put petrol in dieselcar or do the opposite, the only way out is to drain the tank. The same
also holds true if you erroneously pump wrong fuel into a non-compliant
caravan.
