I accidentally filled my Audi A5 with the wrong fuel, what should I do?

I recently filled my Audi A5 with diesel instead of gasoline, what should I do now? Will it damage my engine?

First, do not start your car. This will prevent the wrong fuel from circulating through your engine and causing damage. Call a professional mechanic or towing service to help drain the fuel and flush your fuel system.

If you have already started your car, stop driving immediately and pull over to a safe location. Continued use can cause serious damage to your engine. Call a mechanic or towing service for assistance.

In the future, always double check the fuel type before filling up your car. It may also be helpful to keep a fuel type reminder sticker in your car to avoid this mistake.
