The Service
Professional in - Process Details
When petrol enters a diesel fuel system it strips the lubrication from the high-pressure fuel pump. The most immediate symptom is often a metallic knocking or rattling from the engine bay — this is the sound of metal grinding against metal as lubrication fails. Other symptoms include sudden loss of power, excessive white or black smoke from the exhaust, and illumination of the engine management warning light.
The critical thing to understand is that these symptoms may only appear after several miles of driving — by which point significant damage may already be occurring. If you have any reason to believe petrol was added, pull over and switch off the engine immediately, even if it is currently running normally. Early intervention is the difference between a £200 drain and a £5,000 pump replacement.
