What happens when you put the wrong fuel in

Diesel engines depend on fuel to lubricate vital parts. When petrol mixes in it removes that lubrication, creating friction that can lead to major engine wear or even failure.
Diesel in a petrol car
Diesel is much thicker than petrol and can clog injectors, reduce performance and cause starting issues. Even a small amount can disrupt normal operation.
