Petrol in diesel in Asfordby
The most common misfuel we see in Asfordby. Petrol strips the lubrication a diesel's high-pressure pump relies on, so the golden rule is simple: leave the engine off. Our technician drains the tank, flushes the system, adds 10 litres of fresh diesel and tests the car before leaving. More about petrol in diesel.
Diesel in petrol in Asfordby
Rarer, because the diesel nozzle is wider, but it happens — especially with vans and older cars. Diesel won't burn in a petrol engine and will foul the plugs. Same fix: engine off, call us, drained and refuelled at the roadside. More about diesel in petrol.
