Why petrol harms a diesel engine
Diesel is oily and lubricates the high-pressure pump, which pushes fuel to the injectors at over 2,000 bar in modern engines. Petrol strips that film away, metal parts rub and the debris travels to the injectors. In Germany petrol is sold as Super E5, Super E10 or Super Plus – all of them are petrol.

If it has just happened: three steps
Keep the engine off
Do not start the engine or switch on the ignition – not even to move away from the pump.
Keep the driver door shut if you can
On some cars the fuel pump starts when the driver door opens. Get in from the passenger side if you need to.
Stay safe and call
Hazard lights on. At a station tell the staff; on the road wear a hi-vis vest and wait behind the barrier. Then call +49 761 59415165.
What happens next
Only in the tank
If the engine has not run, draining and fresh diesel are usually enough.
Engine ran briefly
The mix is in filter and lines. We drain, flush and change the filter if needed.
Engine ran for long
Without lubrication the pump can shed debris into the injectors. A workshop is then usually needed.

Common questions: Petrol in diesel in Dresden
Can I top up with diesel instead?
No. The petrol is diluted but still there, and even a small share takes away the lubrication. The tank must be drained.
Is Super E10 different?
No. Super, Super E10 and Super Plus are all petrol and harm a diesel in the same way.
Does insurance pay?
Usually not: in Germany partial cover (Teilkasko) excludes misfuelling, and many comprehensive policies do too. Check your terms.
Which language is the phone line?
The phone line is run in German. Have your vehicle, fuel type and location ready – short answers are enough.
