Putting petrol in a diesel car, or diesel in a petrol car, is an easy mistake to make. What matters most is what you do next: do not start the engine, and if you have not already, do not switch the ignition on either. On some cars even unlocking the doors primes the fuel pump, so leave the car as it is if you can.

Wrong fuel drain: common questions
I have put the wrong fuel in. What should I do?
Do not start the engine or turn on the ignition. Put the car in neutral, tell the filling station staff and, with help, push it somewhere safe. Then call us.
What if I have already driven the car?
Stop as soon as it is safe, switch off the engine and do not restart it. Running on the wrong fuel can damage the fuel pump and injectors, so the sooner the fuel is drained, the better.
Is petrol in a diesel worse than diesel in a petrol car?
Petrol in a diesel is usually more serious, because diesel lubricates the fuel pump and petrol does not. Diesel in a petrol car usually causes misfiring and smoke. Either way, do not run the engine.
