The act of misfuelling, or putting the wrong fuel or even Ad Blue in your car, poses several problems. Firstly, your car will not be able to run on the wrong fuel. It may struggle to start, and if it does, it will not run efficiently or for very long. This is because diesel and petrol engines operate differently. Petrol engines use spark plugs to ignite the fuel, while diesel engines rely on the fuel as a lubricant.

​

Accidentally adding petrol to a diesel vehicle is more common, as petrol nozzles can easily fit into diesel filter necks. However, regardless of the type of fuel contamination, it is crucial to remove the wrong fuel and flush the system to ensure your car can continue functioning properly. In rare cases, the engine or its components may sustain damage and require further attention.
