Petrol in Diesel Aylesbury – What To Do
Putting petrol in a diesel car is the most common misfuelling mistake.
Petrol reduces the lubrication inside diesel fuel systems, which can damage components such as:
- the fuel pump
- fuel injectors
- the fuel system
If petrol circulates through the system, repairs can become expensive.
If you realise at the petrol station:
- Do not start the engine
- Leave the vehicle where it is if safe
- Seek professional assistance
Stopping early often prevents further damage.

What should I do if I put petrol in a diesel car in Aylesbury?
Do not start the engine. Leaving the vehicle switched off can help prevent fuel system damage.
Is petrol in diesel worse than diesel in petrol?
Yes. Petrol in a diesel engine can cause more serious damage because diesel fuel systems rely on lubrication.
Can a small amount of the wrong fuel cause damage?
Even small amounts can affect the fuel system, so it is safest not to drive the vehicle.
Is this cheaper than going to a garage?
In most cases, yes — and we come to you.
