What happens if you fill up with petrol instead of diesel?

The controversy on this topic has not subsided among car enthusiasts. Some argue that even the slightest presence of gasoline will definitely harm the engine and eventually lead to its premature failure. Others believe that a small amount will not harm, but on the contrary, will be beneficial.

Our advice: when there is more than half gasoline, the car simply will not start.

We strongly recommend that you do not start the engine when there are noticeable gasoline impurities in the diesel fuel.

How do you drain the wrong fuel from a roadside assistance tank in Sofia?

There is no universal way. It is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the make and model of the car.

What we do: with the help of special equipment, we connect to the fuel line and drain every last drop from the tank. Then, just in case, an additional flush is performed - we pour the type of fuel that the car usually runs on, in the amount of 5-10 liters, and drain again.

Each car brand has its own method and specific tool. In most cases, the company's specialist initially gets acquainted with the car model. He then assesses how to proceed - perhaps by connecting an additional pump, or by activating the standard one with the help of a computer.

There are many subtleties that depend not only on the brand, but also on the configuration and even the year of manufacture.
