What happens if you put Diesel in a Petrol Car?

It’s far harder to put Diesel in a Petrol Car than it is to put Petrol in a diesel car. That’s because the nozzle of a diesel pump won’t generally fit into a petrol tank, which gives petrol car drivers some protection against this type of misfuelling. Obviously, if refilling your car from a jerry can, or if either the pump or the tanks don’t comply with convention, you can still make the same mistake, but the vast majority of misfuelling events are Petrol into a diesel tank.

Can you put Diesel in a petrol car? Of course not! But, If you have wrongly put Diesel in Petrol car, then it is okay because you can control any severe damage to your engine by stopping your car immediately.
