If you consider the picture only in the UK, you will surely come in for some surprise. It’s all about wrong fuelling. More and more of the motorists are falling prey to mis-fuelling. The fact is every motorist – without a single exception – load wrong fuel into their car tank at least once in their lifetime. It means the mistake is very common and on abnormal rise due to the fact that people are getting busier these days and there has been a staggering increase in diesel-driven car sale.

Most are suckered into believing that wrong fuel recovery expenses are notoriously insane but that is not the case always. However, with prices of everything skyrocketing day by day, wrong fuel removal cost is also going up. At present, it could cost anything between £300 and £3,000, depending on amount of wrong fuel in car tank and extent of damage. Mis-fuelling could be a serious problem for not only the motorists but also the car-renting companies having a fleet of vehicles to maintain.

The vehicles at the highest risk zone are those featuring common rail diesel engines. They have least of tolerance in the event of wrong fuelling. Once petrol is loaded into such car tank, it could cause you heavy expenses for replacement of line filters, fuel pumps, injectors and even tank. It simply means the motorists have to part their ways with a few thousand dollars. The most important thing for you to stave off such staggering expenses is to keep yourself on high alert while reloading car tank.

If you have re-fuelled your car with the incorrect fuel, don’t drive it away. Once the wrong fuel gets into your engine system, expenses for repairing will almost be sky high. If the wrong fuel is just in the car, only a simple drain-out will solve your problem.
