Ravenger Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Modern diesels rely on the diesel fuel to lubricate the fuel pump. If the diesel gets diluted with petrol and the car is run for any length of time this can cause loss of lubrication and premature wear on the pump. If this happens not only can the fuel pump fail, but tiny metal fragments from the fuel pump can contaminate and damage the fuel system and block the injectors, requiring the entire fuel system to be replaced. This of course costs a fortune to fix, if indeed it's cost effective to repair at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
