Misfueling??? What?

How does misfueling mistake occur?

The diameter of the petrol gas nozzle is narrower of the diesel one
, therefore it is physically possible to insert petrol gas nozzle into a wider opening of the diesel tank and fill it with the false type of fuel.

Stress, telephone conversations and frequent changing of cars are the most common causes of filling the tank with the false type of gas.

Why does the wrong type of fuel damage the car?

Petrol fuel disrupts the process of lubrication of a diesel engine and causes damage to metal parts. This can cause serious damage on the fuel pump and the system for fuel injection. In the event of longer motor operation it can lead to complete destruction of a diesel engine. After the performed extraction of the false fuel one must check all washers and filters, which are frequently destroyed as well as the entire system for direct fuel injection.
