Each day numerous individuals around the world put the wrong type of fuel into the fuel tanks of their vehicles. This is referred to as misfuelling. Vehicles function correctly only if their engines receive the fuel suited to them. Wrong fuels can have detrimental effects on the engine and force it to shut down.

In the event of misfuelling, drivers should immediately turn off their vehicle’s engine and seek the assistance of a trained fuel recovery engineer. When, drivers are aware of the mistake that has occurred. They should refrain from driving the vehicle, until the wrong fuel has been completely drained out. If extensive circulation of fuel takes place, recovery of the engine and other components stands little to no chance. In case of wrong fuelling the vehicle’s injector is also susceptible to damage as lack of lubrication will cause a break down.

A trained and skilled fuel recovery specialist should be hired to ensure complete drainage of the wrong fuel. The process of draining begins with analysis of the fuel tank. Next, depending upon the depth of the tank and the volume of fuel, state of the art equipments are employed to drain out wrong fuel. Fuel rails, injectors, fuel filter and fuel lines are all drained out to ensure complete removal of fuel. The next step involves the addition of a fuel additive and the appropriate fuel. After this process has been carried out successfully, the fuel recovery specialist will run the engine and ensure 100% functionality. Once complete functionality of the vehicle has been achieved, vehicle owners are advised to top-up the fuel tank with the right fuel.

When employing wrong fuel recovery services, one should entrust only trained fuel recovery engineers or experts. Choosing the right service provider will significantly enhance the chances of a vehicle’s recovery.
