Petrol in a Diesel Car
Adding petrol to a diesel engine is one of the most common cases of fuel mistakes in London. Pouring petrol into the diesel engine poses the possibility of the engine failing and getting damaged.
The reason behind this is that petrol acts as a solvent and hence reduces the need for lubrication in the engine parts. When the engine is turned on, it might cause considerable damage to the fuel pump and injectors. In such a case, if the engine has not been started, you are lucky to have avoided that bullet.
Diesel in a Petrol Car
