If I Put Diesel In A Petrol Engine, What Happens?

Unless you are a bike or a van, this is probably not going to happen because for a long time now unleaded petrol cars have a special cap that won’t allow it. Diesel is heavier than unleaded and takes longer to evaporate, so the spark plugs won’t ignite and the engine won’t work. You should still call Wrong-Fuel-Recovery.co.uk to empty and clean out the tank.

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.
