We've all been there – the autopilot mode kicks in at the fuel station, and before you know it, you've made the unfortunate mistake of filling your petrol car with diesel. Don't worry, you're not alone in this fuel fiasco. In this blog, we'll guide you through the steps to take when you find yourself in this sticky situation, with a spotlight on the expertise of Wrongfuel Melbourne in rescuing your ride.

Stay Calm and Assess the Situation

If you've accidentally filled your diesel car with petrol, here are the steps you should take:

Don't Start the Engine: Do not attempt to start the engine. Starting the engine could circulate the petrol through the diesel fuel system and cause damage.

Don't Drive the Car: Do not drive the car with the incorrect fuel mixture. Petrol does not lubricate the way diesel does, and running the car with petrol in a diesel engine can lead to serious damage.
