The Problem of Misfuelling

Putting the wrong type of fuel into your vehicle is a mistake that many people make at some point. The physical differences between petrol (gasoline) and diesel pumps are designed to minimise this, but it can still happen, especially in busy or unfamiliar petrol stations. The key difference lies in how the fuels are ignited. Petrol engines use a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture, while diesel engines rely on the heat generated by compression. Introducing diesel into a petrol engine means the fuel won't ignite properly, leading to a lack of power, rough running, and eventual engine failure. Conversely, putting petrol into a diesel engine can damage the fuel pump and injectors, as diesel fuel acts as a lubricant, which petrol lacks. This can lead to expensive repairs if not dealt with promptly.

When you realise you've misfuelled, the most crucial step is to avoid starting the engine. If you have already started it, turn it off immediately. Then, it's time to call Fuel Fixer. Their service typically involves:
