Petrol into Diesel Car Edinburgh
This is definitely an unfortunate accident and can cause extensive engine damage. Since petrol dispensers are smaller, it is easier to fill up a diesel car. Unlike petrol cars, diesel engines compress the fuel to ignite and the fuel is forced into the internal parts of the engine to lubricate them. The problem starts here. It is difficult to get rid of fuel that circulates in integral parts of a diesel engine. The correct function of the injection pump depends on the lubricating properties of diesel fuel. Since petrol can’t do this job, performance is uneven. The worst part is that it takes some time to realize the incorrect fueling of diesel cars, and before you realize the mistake, the car will start spewing black fumes from the exhaust pipe and will tend to move slowly and eventually stop.
If the ignition is turned on with the wrong fuel in the tank, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with a hefty bill. The only reason is that once the engine is started, the fuel jets into the internal parts of the engine that need lubrication to function properly. In case you end up putting petrol in your diesel car, here’s what you can do with it:
Do not start the engine: No matter what happens, if you find that your diesel car has the wrong fuel in the tank, do not start the engine. As long as there is fuel in the tank and the engine is not running, your car is out of danger. Immediately call us at Wrong Fuel Drainer Scotland and we’ll immediately provide you roadside assistance wherever you are in Scotland. Once the tank and main fuel lines are flushed, you can refill the car with diesel and you can consider adding an injector cleaning additive. Note: Cars with automatic transmission systems will pump oil into the system even if you turn the key into the ignition slot to shift into neutral.
If you’ve been driving your car for a while before you realize: Maybe it’s the most unfortunate event. If you’ve been driving your diesel car with petrol in the tank for a while, it’s highly likely that fuel has gotten into all corners of the engine. Stop your car and switch off the engine as soon as you realize the fault and seek roadside assistance from us at Wrong Fuel Drainer Scotland before it’s too late. We’ll help you drain the diesel contamination in your car and help you get back on the road in no time, saving you tons of bills in repairs including your peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to call us when you’re in this situation.
