Doing so will cause the incorrect fuel to circulate, potentially leading to more serious issues and making the problem harder and more expensive to fix.If You’ve Started Driving The Vehicle, STOP!
Continuing to drive with the wrong fuel can significantly increase damage to your engine and fuel system. Pull over to a safe location as soon as possible and turn off the engine. You will likely need to have your car towed to a mechanic.Call for Assistance

Consequences of Putting in the Wrong Fuel
Petrol Into A Diesel Vehicle – It is more common to put petrol into a diesel vehicle, and it has the potential to cause significant damage and be the most expensive to fix. Do not start the vehicle or drive it at all, if possible.
Diesel Into A Petrol Vehicle –After putting diesel in a petrol vehicle, you’ll likely find that the engine may fail to start, or if it does, it will soon splutter and stall. In some cases, the vehicle may continue running, but you’ll definitely notice it’s not performing as usual.
