Frequently asked questions
I put petrol in my diesel car in Hyderabad — what should I do?
STOP immediately — do not start the engine if you haven't already. Petrol has no lubricating properties (diesel lubricates the fuel pump) and will rapidly damage the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors. If you've already driven, the damage depends on how far: under 1 km → drain and flush, likely no lasting damage. 2–10 km → flush + inspect pump and injectors. Over 10 km → likely pump damage requiring replacement. Call Metre Per Second emergency: +91-8555824915.
