Diesel in a Petrol Car?
No Tow Truck – We Fix It Mobile
Accidentally putting diesel in a petrol car is a stressful situation, but the most important thing you can do right now is do not start the engine. Unlike petrol in a diesel car, a diesel in petrol engine usually will not start at all, which is actually good news: the diesel has most likely stayed in the tank and not yet reached the spark plugs or injection system. However, if you have already tried to start the car or noticed rough running and smoke, call us immediately. The sooner we arrive, the less damage occurs and in most cases where the engine has not been run, a professional mobile fuel drain is all that is needed to get you back on the road.
Put diesel in a petrol car? Do not start your vehicle
Petrol strips the lubrication your diesel’s fuel pump depends on, and running the engine spreads it through the system. Leave the key out, move clear of the bowser if safe, and call Wrong Fuel Help on 0432 553 905. We drain it on the spot, anywhere in Newcastle.
