More and more of wrong-fuelling incidents are now taking place. There are several practical reasons behind the growingly reported cases of wrong-fuelling incidents. People are now leading a fast-paced life. They are always in hurry, taking little care of what they consider petty things. While loading fuel into their car tank, they are usually drifted towards roaming thoughts. Most of them even start chatting over mobile phones. They never make it sure that if the pump chosen for tank refilling is the correct one. And at least once in their life, they pick up the wrong pump and as an inevitable consequence, they put wrong fuel in car.

However, I am personally against blaming the motorists all the time. Some other reasons also cause wrong-fuelling. Many fuel stations don’t care about minimal maintenance work that must be done every year. Visit such fuel courts and you will find that the labeling on the pumps have come out or are too faded-out to understand. However, the motorists should ask the attendants about what pump represents what fuel but unfortunately they don’t do so. In these cases, misfuelling is a common occurrence. The fuel stations must play their role to prevent such mistake by guiding the motorists and doing regular maintenance work with utmost care.

These days, diesel cars are more in demand. These car models are such that they have bigger opening at the fuel tank and petrol pump can go easily into it. Such mismatch never goes in favor of the motorists and they don’t recognize about choosing the wrong pump. That reasons why ‘unleaded petrol in diesel cars’ is more common than the reverse one. It is believed that petrol causes big problems to the diesel cars and even damage engines. In that case, sorting out the problem could cost you a fortune.
