(Q&amp;A)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Accidentally putting the wrong fuel in your car is a relatively common problem and something that many of us have either done or know someone who has done it. Whether you\u2019ve just switched cars and you\u2019ve automatically filled up with the fuel your old car took or you\u2019ve got a million things on your mind and have just not been concentrating when at the fuel station, it\u2019s easy to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatCar claim someone in the UK puts the wrong fuel in their car approximately every three and a half minutes. While the RAC state over 150,000 people every year fuel up with the wrong fuel. So if you do put the wrong fuel in your car you\u2019re certainly not alone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What happens if you put petrol in a diesel engine? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diesel acts as a lubricant within the engine and helps to reduce friction and wear between vital engine parts. When petrol is mixed with diesel it creates a solvent which has the opposite effect and causes more friction between engine parts so it can quickly cause damage. The more petrol that pumps through the diesel system the worse the damage will be. Just starting a diesel car that has been incorrectly fuelled could result in expensive repairs being required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What happens if you put diesel in a petrol engine? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting diesel into a petrol engine is less detrimental and less easy to do. Diesel nozzles are usually larger than petrol nozzles so actually fitting a diesel nozzle into a petrol car can be difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike petrol, diesel needs to be compressed in order to ignite. The lack of compression means that diesel fuel within a petrol engine is unable to ignite and therefore the engine is unlikely to start at all. However, diesel fuel within a petrol engine can cause the spark plugs and the fuel system to clog up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2022-07-04T165125.005.jpg\" alt=\"wrong fuel\" class=\"wp-image-11527\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What should you do if you put the wrong fuel in your car? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DO NOT START THE ENGINE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; If you\u2019re lucky enough to realise your error before starting the engine do not start it. Let an assistant at the fuel station know that you\u2019ve put the wrong fuel in your car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; You\u2019ll then need to move your car out of the way whilst you wait for help. Put the car in neutral and get help pushing it out of the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; If you have breakdown cover give them a call and they should be able to come out to you and perform a fuel drain and flush. You\u2019ll also need to inform your insurance company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; If you don\u2019t have breakdown cover and aren\u2019t covered for misfuelling on your insurance the fuel station may be able to give you the number for a local company offering fuel drain and flush services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What happens if you drive off after putting the wrong fuel into your car? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you drive off after putting the wrong fuel in your car, the chances are you won\u2019t get far. Your car is likely to make some grumbling noises so take heed and pull over as soon as you can. If you still don\u2019t realise your car will eventually grind to a halt, but at this point, it is likely there will be considerable damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What are the consequences of putting the wrong fuel in your car? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AA state that the average price for misfuelling is around \u00a3190 which includes the cost of a call out, fuel drain, flush and replenish of your fuel system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, putting the wrong fuel in your car can cause substantial damage to your engine and result in your car being off the road for some time whilst it has costly repairs. The RAC suggest that in a worst-case scenario it could cost in the region of five thousand pounds! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2022-07-04T165149.240.jpg\" alt=\"wrong fuel\" class=\"wp-image-11529\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Will your insurance cover you if you put the wrong fuel in your car? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some insurers won\u2019t cover misfuelling, whilst others cover it under accidental damage. Some insurers will cover the entire service whilst others will only cover the damage and won\u2019t cover any breakdown costs. We recommend checking with your insurer to see where you stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How can you prevent putting the wrong fuel in your car? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8211; Make sure you\u2019re concentrating when you go to fuel up <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8211; Don\u2019t just rely on the colour of the pump to indicate the fuel, read the text on the pump as well <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8211; If in doubt which fuel is which don\u2019t be afraid to ask a fuel station assistant for help <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8211; Fit a diesel fuel cap to your fuel neck which prevents a petrol nozzle fitting in, prices for a diesel fuel cap range from around \u00a315 to \u00a330 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accidentally putting the wrong fuel in your car is a relatively common problem and something that many of us have either done or know someone who has done it.
