What Happens If You Accidentally Put the Wrong Fuel?

Mistaking one type of fuel for another can happen to anyone, especially when navigating an unfamiliar gas station or using a rental car. The effects of using the wrong fuel depend on the type of mistake made.

What Happens If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car?

Dont' Start the Engine: If you realize your mistake before starting the car, you're in luck. Starting the engine circulates the incorrect fuel, potentially causing more damage.

Call a fuel drain service: Contact a professional mechanic or roadside assistance service. They can safely drain the fuel tank and clean the fuel system.

Document Everything: Keep records of the incident and any repairs made, as this may be useful for insurance claims or service records.

What Happens If You Put 93 Gas in an 87 Car?

Premium gasoline (93 octane) is often designed for high-performance or luxury vehicles. Here's what happens if you use it in a regular 87 octane car:

No Major Harm: Fortunately, using a higher octane fuel (93) in your car when it requires a lower octane (87) generally doesn’t cause harm.

Cost Consideration: Premium gas is more expensive, and there is no performance benefit in using it in an engine designed for regular unleaded fuel.

How Much Does It Cost to Drain a Gas Tank?

The cost of fuel drain service depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, the amount of contaminated fuel, the type of fuel involved, and whether additional fuel system cleaning is required.

Factors that affect pricing include:

♦ Gasoline vs diesel contamination

♦ Vehicle make and model

♦ Amount of incorrect fuel added

♦ Whether the engine was started

♦ Mobile service location

Professional fuel drain service is often significantly less expensive than repairing a damaged fuel pump, fuel injectors, or engine components caused by contaminated fuel.

Do I Need a Tow Truck for Fuel Drain Service?

Not always.

If the wrong fuel was added and the vehicle has not been driven extensively, a mobile fuel drain service can often be completed on-site. Our technicians can safely remove contaminated fuel, inspect the fuel system, and help get your vehicle back on the road without the inconvenience of towing.

However, if the vehicle has been driven for an extended period after the wrong fuel was added, additional diagnostics or repairs may be necessary depending on the extent of the contamination.

What Happens If You Put Diesel in a Gas Car?

Putting diesel fuel into a gasoline-powered vehicle can cause serious problems if the engine is started. Diesel fuel is thicker than gasoline and does not ignite properly in a gasoline engine. If the vehicle is driven, the diesel fuel can contaminate the fuel system, foul spark plugs, clog fuel injectors, and cause poor engine performance or stalling.

If you accidentally put diesel in a gas car:

♦ Do not start the engine

♦ Do not turn the ignition to the "ON" position

♦ Move the vehicle to a safe location if possible

♦ Contact a fuel drain service immediately

In many cases, draining the fuel tank and cleaning the fuel system before starting the engine can prevent expensive repairs.

What Happens If You Put Gasoline in a Diesel Vehicle?

Gasoline in a diesel engine is often more serious than diesel in a gasoline vehicle. Diesel fuel provides lubrication for critical fuel system components, including the fuel pump and injectors. Gasoline removes this lubrication and can cause severe damage if circulated through the system.

If gasoline is added to a diesel vehicle:

♦ Do not start the engine

♦ Do not attempt to drive the vehicle

♦ Contact a fuel drain service as soon as possible

If caught early, a fuel drain service can usually remove the contaminated fuel and help prevent damage to the fuel system. If the vehicle has already been driven, additional repairs may be required.
