In the last few decades automobile engines have become more and more efficient and powerful. Manufacturers are also trying their best to reduce Co2 emission from engines. But no matter how advanced the engine is, it needs the right type of fuel to run. Imagine what will happen if you put the wrong fuel in your car? No matter how unbelievable it may sound, this mistake is actually made in reality by a large number of people. Perhaps the car owner was unmindful or perhaps he simply forgot which type of fuel his engine requires. Since there are no separate fuel stations for each type of fuel, if the car owner makes the mistake, then there is no way to tell for the fuel station attendant.

It has been noted that this phenomenon is very prevalent in the UK where around 150,000 people make this mistake every year. It has also been observed that people generally put wrong fuel in diesel engine and not the other way around. The use of diesel cars has increased in the UK in the recent years. While no clear cut reason was found behind this phenomenon, it can be guessed that perhaps many people are not yet habituated with using diesel and make this mistake.

As soon as you realize that you have put the wrong fuel in your car, you need to take certain steps. First and foremost, do not start your car. It can damage your engine. Also if your car is under warranty period, using the car with wrong fuel will technically make the warranty invalid. You first ask the staff at fuel station to see if they can drain out the wrong fuel. If not, immediately contact Wrong Fuel Drainer Bridgnorth, who is experts in draining out wrong fuel from a car. This way your car will be saved from any major damage.
