Mis-fuelling (putting wrong type of fuel in the car) is nowadays a very common cause for which people call car emergency services. The reason why people panic when they mistakenly commit wrong fuelling is because it can cause serious damage to your car if not handled properly. At almost every fuel station multiple types of fuels are sold and so there is always the chance that motorists will choose the wrong type. Most probably, you were distracted and inattentive and also if you have recently switched to diesel car from a petrol car, you may have simply forgotten it. It has been seen that in almost every case, petrol is mistakenly put into diesel tanks as the nozzle of the petrol pipe can fit into a diesel tank but a diesel nozzle will not fit into a petrol tank.
But whatever may be the reason; the incident is no doubt a bit embarrassing and can be really annoying and troublesome. But the biggest worry of all is that wrong fuelling can permanently damage the engine of your car. Naturally it will cause you a good deal of money. All that running and yelling will do you no good other than make the situation even worse. The best thing you can do is call a wrong fuel recovery expert as soon as you can. Otherwise you will have to bear the most burnt and it can be real heavy on your pocket.
Filling petrol in a diesel car is becoming a common mistake. Just in the United Kingdom, more than 150,000 motorists commit this mistake every year. The modern day diesel engine cars are built in such a way that they cannot tolerate petrol too much and will be heavily damaged. Even famous celebrities and important personalities are not safe from wrong-fuelling problems. On one occasion President of America Barack Obama’s car also suffered wrong-fuelling and needed servicing. However, immediate wrong fuel recovery will stop the situation from going out of hand.
