What Happens When You Put Diesel In A Petrol Engine – Is There Damage?

Firstly it’s only really going to happen in a bike or a van because most unleaded cars in the last 25 years have been fitted with a cap to stop this happening. If it does happen, diesel is heavier than unleaded and doesn’t evaporate as well so the spark plugs won’t ignite and the engine just won’t start. In that case, also call Wrong-Fuel-Recovery.co.uk to speedily empty the tank.

You will have saved on costs normally associated with this, the problem will be sorted and you can drive away. The other solution, recovering your vehicle to the local garage or dealer would possibly cost you £1000’s. So, make that saving and call the experts now at Wrong-Fuel-Recovery.co.uk on 0800 193 1103 or 07538 889 922, 24 hours a day/7 days a week – the faster the better!

Petrol in a Diesel Car – FAQs

What if I only added a small amount of petrol to my diesel tank?

Adding even a small amount of petrol to a diesel tank can reduce vital fuel-system lubrication, especially in modern diesel engines.

If the vehicle hasn’t been started, professional draining and flushing can usually prevent any damage. If it has been driven, continuing to run the vehicle risks serious and costly fuel system failure, so immediate specialist assistance is recommended.

How far can you drive with the wrong fuel?

In most instances, your car will fail to start. If it does start, your journey will be quickly cut short as the engine needs diesel to lubricate essential mechanisms. Even though you may be able to travel a short distance, this is never advised.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

In most scenarios, vehicles can be fixed within 30-90 minutes. However, this can take longer for larger tanks, such as lorries.

Can Wrong Fuel Recovery Also Remove Other Liquids from Vehicles?

As well as remove petrol or diesel from vehicles, we also offer an Adblue draining service.

Adblue is sensitive, which means if misfuelling has occurred, this will also normally need to be drained and replaced to prevent damage.

I would recommend Wrong Fuel Recovery to anybody who puts the wrong fuel in their car. I called them on a Sunday evening, and they were with me within 40 minutes. They emptied a full fuel tank, flushed the system, and had me back on the road within another 45 minutes. They were friendly, professional, and efficient.
