if you fill up with the wrong fuel, for example you put petrol in a diesel.

IF you have locked the car and gone to pay for it, DO NOT unlock the car, you can cause damage by unlocking it.

this is becuase diesel engines used to take a while to turn on, that same time is still there it just starts when you unlock the car now so the pump can turn on even if you unlock it.
