It is not a rare case that the driver of a car puts petrol in diesel car and the mistake is done more by the women drivers. Maybe it is so because the women are not so interested in the engines as we, the men gearheads are and they are not paying attention to the fuel that their cars are using. Some other cases have shown that when a driver switches the car with somebody else it is most likely to put the petrol in diesel car.

Well maybe it is not the biggest mistake that you can do but it is best when avoided. If you don’t know what kind of petrol the car that you are driving uses then you better ask the men at the petrol station, they know for sure.
