Welcome to Wrong Fuel Recovery, here’s our diesel in a petrol car guide to help you when you put diesel into a petrol car.
Have you put diesel in a petrol car?
Putting diesel in a petrol car is not as common as putting petrol in a diesel car, but it does still happen! In fact this problem happens to thousands of people every month in the UK. Wrong Fuel Recovery provide a fast, mobile service to help when you have put diesel in a petrol car. We will attend any vehicle that has had diesel put into a petrol car and we will drain and flush the vehicle to remove all of the contaminated fuel.
What to do if you put diesel in a petrol car!
If you have made the mistake of putting diesel in a petrol car the first thing to do is not to panic. If it is diesel you have put into a petrol car do NOT try to fill the vehicle up with the correct fuel in the hope that this will resolve the issue, unfortunately you can only do this if you have put in 5% or less (less than 3 litres).
Secondly do not start the vehicle, this will cause the diesel fuel to travel around the engine bay and will cover all your components in diesel potentially causing damage. If you have already started the vehicle and it has started to misfire due to the wrong fuel being placed into the vehicle, Wrong Fuel Recovery can still help to drain and flush your vehicle, however in this case the spark plugs will often need to be removed and cleaned.
The final step is to call Wrong Fuel Recovery who have an average attendance time of 40 minutes, we will drain and flush your vehicles fuel tank and lines to remove all the diesel from your petrol car fuel.

Diesel in a petrol car
It is not normally possible to put diesel in a petrol car due to the size of the diesel nozzle at the filing station. It is normally too big to fit into a petrol car’s filler neck. However not all manufacturers have fitted the smaller filler neck to their vehicle or it could simply be that you have pulled up to the pump with the nozzles on the wrong side and accidentally forced it in the narrower filler neck. Either way it is very common and happens to thousands of motorists every month.
