What Happens?

Putting petrol in a diesel vehicle can cause serious damage if the engine is started. Petrol lacks the lubricating properties that diesel provides, which can lead to poor running, engine misfires and, in severe cases, costly mechanical failure.

The good news is that if you haven't started the engine, we can safely drain the wrong fuel, flush the system and get you back on the road quickly.
