If you’ve accidentally filled your diesel vehicle with petrol, don’t panic. It’s a common mistake that can happen to anyone, but it’s essential to address it promptly to prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine. Here’s what you should do:

1. 1. Don’t Start the Engine: As soon as you realize your mistake, do not. Running a diesel engine with petrol can cause serious damage.

Preventive Measures

Once the fuel system is clean and refilled with the correct fuel, we strongly recommend adding a fuel system cleaner.
