It's a #FuelFact! Have you ever thought about what happens if you fuel up your car with the wrong type of fuel? Putting petrol in a diesel car can cause major damage. If you realise this mistake while fueling up, DON'T START THE CAR! Let the attendant in the store know, put the car in neutral and push it to a safe spot. Call your vehicle service centre or mechanic and they'll help you from there. If your car has already started, stop in a safe spot as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Call your service centre or mechanic for more help. Putting diesel in a petrol car is less common due to the larger nozzle size and smaller filler neck. Although the effects are less severe than the first instance, you should avoid starting your car to prevent further damage. Have you ever put in the wrong fuel?
