The most common example of a refuelling is when petrol / unleaded is refuelled into the fuel tank instead of diesel. This can be explained by the fact that the petrol filling pistol is slightly thinner, so it fits smoothly in the filling opening of a diesel car. Conversely, you already have to fight to be able to fill up with diesel, but by the time you upset yourself that it won’t work, we hope you realize something is wrong. There are some more modern cars that are fitted with anti-refuelling devices, but even the most inattentive can overcome this. The most important thing is that you have already realized the fault while refuelling, so that you do not accidentally start the car or light it up, only if it is vital. It would be best not to open the driver’s door either, as many cars start to pump fuel from the tank as a result of the sound, making refuelling as fast as possible.

Signs for putting the wrong fuel in your tank varies between petrol to diesel vehicles.
  • If you’ve put diesel in your petrol-powered vehicle, you will likely experience:

  • misfiring engine

  • excessive exhaust fumes

  • engine cutting out

  • complete engine failure

Similarly, if you’ve put petrol in a diesel vehicle, you’ll experience:

  • reduced acceleration power

  • excessive exhaust fumes

  • knocking sounds when accelerating

  • engine warning light illumination

  • vehicle struggling to start

Although symptoms are similar for both scenarios, it’s far more costly putting petrol in a diesel car. This is because petrol creates friction in a diesel engine and other vital components.
