When wrong fuelling occurs one should not panic. Under stress individuals do not make the right choices. Hence, one should think with a clear mind without panicking. Wrong fuelling is a troublesome event, since the repairs are an expensive affair. But you might actually be amazed to know that it is a very common occurrence all over the world. Each year more than 150,000 experience wrong fuelling, only in the UK. The occurrence of misfuelling is so common because petrol courts house both petrol and diesel close by. If an individual is distracted even for a minute he/she might have to face the consequences of wrong fuelling. The only solution to this problem is getting the wrong fuel removed as soon as one realizes the error.

The damage caused to the car due to wrong fuelling can be severe. However, if one realizes immediately after the fuel is filled into the tank, the situation can be easily remedied. If the car is driven without realizing, the entire fuel system of the car might be damaged. This situation calls for immediate action. The amount of wrong fuel in the tank affects the amount of damage that will occur.

There are numerous telltale signs that let the motorist immediately recognize if the wrong fuel has been introduced into the vehicle. The engine should be stopped in that moment itself. If not stopped the fuel travels through the entire fuelling system of the car. In case it is petrol that is entered into a diesel car, it corrodes the metal. The lubricating layer is instantly removed and results in friction between the various parts and corroded metal particles.

This problem cannot be solved by blaming oneself. These thoughts do not help in any way and only waste the precious time in which the problem can be remedied. Without delay the motorist should contact a fuel recovery expert.

Stop it now!

In most of the cases, motorists get to realize their problem as soon as they start driving the car.

If it is petrol in a diesel car, lubrication will come off easily and that will lead to grinding between the car parts.

So stupid of me!

It is unfortunate that a very few of us remain alert while loading wrong fuel in car tank. However, with most of the petrol courts having different types of fuels, it is not surprising that motorists often commit the mistake of installing incorrect fuel into car tank. Most probably, they were not paying attention to which fuel they were loading and accidentally installed petrol in a diesel engine or just the opposite.

Loading incorrect fuel is what we know as wrong-fuelling or mis-fuelling. The incident is quite annoying but you must not curse yourself for the mistake, especially when it can be sorted out by a specialist car breakdown service provider at a reasonable price.

Consequences

We have already dealt with possible causes of wrong-fuelling and let us now consider the consequences of such mistake. Wrong fuel can lead to serious damages especially if you have pumped petrol into a diesel car. Petrol, if stays longer in tank, could strip out engine lubricant of car engine as well as other vital components and that may cause them to grind together. This is very bad news for the motorists and they may have to pay through their noses to correct the problem.

The mistake of placing unleaded into a diesel engine is surprisingly common throughout the United Kingdom, with an estimated figure of 150,000 people falling a prey to wrong-fuelling incident. The opposite type of mis-fuelling problem i.e. diesel into a petrol car, is not a commonplace incident as diesel fuel nozzle is much bigger than its petrol counterpart. However, even if diesel goes into a petrol engine, it would not cause much of damage

Wrong Fuel Recovery

The only way out of mis-fuelling problem is to remove incorrect fuel from car tank. If wrong fuel has caused damaged to your car, it must be addressed within least time possible.
