Methods to handle filling up with the wrong fuel: If you accidentally filled up with a higher octane gasoline, there is generally no major issue, and the owner need not worry excessively. If you mistakenly filled up with a lower octane gasoline, it is recommended that the owner add some fuel additives to improve the fuel quality or drain the incorrect gasoline, while also cleaning the fuel tank and fuel system. If you inadvertently filled a gasoline car with diesel, the problem is more serious. Due to the different combustion methods of gasoline and diesel, filling a gasoline car with diesel may result in symptoms such as engine shaking, black smoke from the exhaust, or even failure to start. Using diesel can damage the entire fuel system and may even lead to engine failure. It is advised that if the owner discovers the wrong fuel has been added, they should contact a specialized repair shop as soon as possible to clean the fuel tank and fuel system, followed by a comprehensive inspection of the engine. Do not attempt to start the engine to avoid further damage to the vehicle.
