Why Misfuelling Happens—And Why You're Not Alone
Misfuelling happens due to driver distraction, unfamiliar vehicles, similar pump colors, or rushing at fuel stations during busy times. It’s an effortless mistake, especially if you’re:
- Driving a hire car
- Swapping between petrol and diesel vehicles
- Distracted or in a rush
- Refuelling a vehicle in poor light or bad weather can lead to mistakes.
If you’ve made this mistake, don’t feel embarrassed — you’re in excellent company, and we fix it every single day.
Why Petrol in a Diesel Engine is Dangerous
- Fuel pumps
- Injectors
- Engine valves
As a result, metal parts grind together, leading to wear, overheating, or even complete engine failure. If not drained quickly, the contaminated fuel can cause damage worth thousands of pounds.
The best solution is to have the tank drained professionally, flush the system, and inspect key engine components—all of which we do on-site at your location.

Who We Are
What Happens When Diesel Is Added to a Petrol Car?
Putting diesel into a petrol car can cause significant engine and fuel system issues. Petrol engines rely on spark plugs to ignite the fuel, but diesel does not ignite the same way. If diesel reaches your engine, it may:
The severity of the damage depends on how much diesel was added, whether the engine was started, and how far the vehicle was driven. If the engine hasn’t started, the issue can usually be fixed quickly and without damage.
