Why Acting Quickly Matters
Wrong fuel doesn’t always cause instant failure
damage often happens while the fuel circulates
Diesel systems rely on fuel for lubrication
Petrol strips that lubrication away
Rubber seals can degrade the longer petrol is present
Fuel pumps and injectors can suffer accelerated wear
Some drivers get away with it. Others don’t.
The risk increases the longer the engine runs

Why Online Advice Is Conflicting
You’ll see people saying:
“I diluted it and it was fine”
“I drove home with no issues”
You’ll also see:
Failed injectors
Fuel pump replacements
Four figure repair bills £2000+
Modern fuel systems are unpredictable.
Once the wrong fuel circulates, damage becomes a possibility - not a certainty, but a gamble.
If you want the safest option, remove the fuel early.
Petrol in a Diesel Is the Highest Risk
Diesel fuel lubricates internal components.
Petrol behaves more like a solvent.
When petrol runs through a diesel system:
-
Lubrication is reduced
-
Seals can swell or deteriorate over time
-
High-pressure pumps and injectors can wear rapidly
Problems don’t always show immediately -
damage can appear days or weeks later
Diesel in a Petrol Vehicle
Diesel in a petrol engine can also cause serious issues:
-
Poor combustion
-
Heavy smoke or non starting
-
Contaminated fuel lines and injectors
