Default Diesel starting problem

How does petrol damage the fuel pump?


Diesel fuel is also the pump lubricant. Left alone, pumps are
ultra-reliable - but if damaged replacement is expensive.

It's also worth noting the following:
Always change the fuel filters regularly, and clean the lift pump gauze
filter. And to be even safer, check for water in your fuel tank.
