Petrol In Diesel Engine ?
Misfuelling incidents occur more frequently than many realize, particularly putting petrol in a diesel car. The similarity in pump nozzles can lead to confusion, with petrol nozzles easily fitting into diesel vehicle fuel tanks. When this error occurs, UK Fuel Doctor provides essential assistance during your time of need.
Risks and Symptoms of Misfuelling
In Berkshire and its surrounding areas, individuals may inadvertently pump petrol into a diesel car, unknowingly causing further damage and potentially incurring significant costs. The repercussions of introducing unleaded petrol into a diesel vehicle can be severe, jeopardizing the vehicle’s health and the safety of its occupants.
Even a small quantity of petrol in a diesel car can pose significant risks, rendering the fuel mixture flammable and increasing the likelihood of fire or explosion. Addressing misfuelling incidents promptly is crucial, and seeking professional assistance from experts like UK Fuel Doctor can mitigate potential risks and ensure safety on the road.
When you put petrol in a diesel car, your vehicle’s engine will exhibit symptoms indicative of petrol’s presence. It may experience intermittent bursts of fuel, coughing, chugging, and a noticeable decrease in throttle power. Revving the engine may prove ineffective, and black smoke may emanate from the exhaust fumes. Continuing to drive despite these symptoms can lead to engine failure.
Solutions and Services Offered
Misfuelling can have catastrophic consequences for your vehicle’s engine, resulting in financial strain as warranties typically do not cover such issues. The engine may seize up, the fuel pump could sustain damage, and repeated attempts to revive the engine may exacerbate the problem. Additionally, decreased lubrication due to petrol in the diesel engine can harm the car’s inner workings.
