Common questions in Belfast
How much is too much?
There is no safe amount to drive on. Even a splash is best drained before the engine runs.
Can I drive with unleaded in a diesel engine in the tank?
No. Running the engine pumps it through the system and can turn a drain into a repair. Call 01295 380724.
Will it have damaged the engine?
Only if it has been run through the system. Caught before starting, a drain removes it cleanly.
