Wrong Fuel In The Car

I put 3 litres of petrol in my diesel car — is it a problem?

3 litres of petrol in a diesel is enough to be a real risk, especially if the tank wasn't nearly full when it went in. The petrol reduces the lubrication the diesel pump relies on, so don't start the engine — the safe course is a drain and flush before you drive. Call 0800 170 0644 and we'll advise on your exact situation.

In an emergency: don't start the engine and call 0800 170 0644. We drain the wrong fuel on-site, 24/7, 365 days a year.
