Wrong Fuel in Diesel Engine

When you fill a diesel vehicle with petrol there is a serious risk that you will damage your engine. Petrol acts as a solvent with repairs coming up to hundreds or even thousands of pounds if the engine ceases as the contaminated fuel goes through the system. Metal particles from the pump could be deposited in the fuel which risks further damage.
The best way to get you back on the road is to drain the tank and get the filter cleaned or replaced. Fortunately, all these services are offered by us and we are done by experts with years of experience in this field. This is the best way to protect your engine from damage.
However, don’t be harsh on yourself as hundreds of thousands of drivers have done the same, 150,000 a year to be precise, so you are not alone.

Some Wrong Fuel Facts

One person every four minutes fills their vehicle with wrong fuel which can wreak havoc on the interior workings, with repair bills amounting to hundreds of millions of pounds every year. Putting diesel in a petrol engine will cause your engine to cut out and stop working. As diesel doesn’t ignite in the same way that petrol does, the spark plugs which ignites the fuel in your petrol engine will have no effect.
