Filling the wrong fuel in a vehicle is a common mistake that can lead to serious fuel-system problems. For example, petrol accidentally added to a diesel vehicle or diesel mistakenly filled in a petrol car may cause improper combustion, poor engine performance or damage to certain components.
The severity of the problem depends on the type of vehicle, quantity of incorrect fuel, whether the ignition was switched on and whether the engine was started or driven after refuelling.

Understand the two common situations involving incorrect fuel in a car.
Petrol mistakenly added to a diesel vehicle can reduce the lubrication properties required by certain diesel fuel-system components. This may cause serious damage, especially if the engine is started.

Your vehicle may show different warning signs depending on the fuel and engine type.
The vehicle may struggle to start or may fail to start completely.
Incorrect fuel may cause unusual exhaust smoke in some vehicles.
