The car you have may run on petrol, diesel or CNG. However, nowadays people are also buying electric cars, due to which there is no need to use any kind of fuel. At the same time, if we talk about petrol cars, if diesel is put in it by mistake, it can cause direct damage to the car. Whether it is the fault of the petrol pump attendant or the person driving the car. Therefore, whenever you fill the fuel in your car from the pump, pay attention. At the same time, if diesel is accidentally poured into your petrol vehicle, then you should know what to do. Otherwise, even the parts and engine of your vehicle may get damaged. So let's know how...
Always keep these things in mind:-
While filling fuel at a petrol pump, always get down of the car and tell the pump attendant whether you want to fill petrol or diesel.
You can get petrol or diesel written on the lid of the fuel tank, so that the pump guy will know what to fill etc.
If you fill it with diesel instead of petrol, then do these things:-
Number 1
If diesel is put in your car instead of petrol, then stop the car immediately. Otherwise, diesel will reach the engine and your vehicle's engine may get damaged. Immediately after this, you should get the fuel tank emptied.
Number 2
After cleaning the fuel tank, clean the fuel line with petrol. Then you have to change its filters because they can get dirty due to diesel. At the same time, you should also change the engine oil of the vehicle.
Number 3
Keep in mind that get this entire process done by a mechanic and also get your car engine checked by him. This is important because only the mechanic will be able to tell whether the engine has been damaged or not.
