WHY DIESEL IN A PETROL ENGINE IS A PROBLEM
Petrol engines work differently from diesel engines and rely on spark ignition rather than compression. Diesel is heavier and oilier than petrol, and it doesn’t combust properly in a petrol engine.
Driving with diesel in a petrol car can cause:
- Fouled spark plugs
- Blocked fuel lines and filters
- Rough running or failure to start
- Permanent engine damage if left untreated
The golden rule: If you realise you’ve misfuelled, don’t start the engine—and call us immediately for a professional fuel drain service in Glasgow Edinburgh or anywhere in Scotland.
