What Happens If You Use the Wrong Fuel?

Using the wrong type of fuel can lead to serious damage — especially if you've already started your car. Here's how each situation affects your vehicle:

Petrol in a Diesel Engine
This is the most common mistake. Petrol causes a loss of lubrication in diesel systems, which can severely damage your fuel pump and injectors. If the engine runs, the petrol circulates throughout the fuel system, increasing repair costs and risk.
Diesel in a Petrol Engine
Diesel is too heavy and oily to combust in a petrol engine. It can clog fuel lines, damage spark plugs, and cause misfiring or complete engine failure.
Important Tip:
If you realise the mistake early — do not start the engine. Turning the key can worsen the damage. Call Road Buddy Warwickshire straight away for help.

Why Drivers Put the Wrong Fuel in Their Car

It’s a simple mistake — and it can happen to anyone. Most wrong fuel errors occur when:

You’re driving a new, borrowed, or rental car
You’re in a hurry or distracted
You misread or confuse fuel pump labels
You’re unfamiliar with fuel types (E5, E10, diesel, premium, etc.)
You put petrol instead of diesel, or vice versa, by habit

We understand — and we’re not here to judge. We’re here to fix the problem and get you moving again.

(FAQs)

?: What should I do if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
Stop immediately. Do not turn on the ignition. If you’ve already started the car, turn it off as soon as possible. Then, call Road Buddy Warwickshire so we can begin the fuel drain process quickly.

?: What if I already drove after putting in the wrong fuel?
Don’t worry — we can still help. We’ll assess the situation, flush your fuel lines, and take extra care to prevent further engine damage.

?: Can I drain the fuel tank myself?
It’s not advised. Modern fuel systems are complex and require specialist tools. DIY attempts can cause more damage or create safety risks. Let a professional handle it.

?:How long does the process take?
Most wrong fuel removals take 30 to 60 minutes once we arrive. We aim to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.

?: How much does wrong fuel removal cost?
Costs depend on your vehicle, fuel type, how much fuel was added, and your location. But rest assured — we offer competitive prices with no hidden fees. Call us now for a quick quote.
