So you have stopped your car and even called in an expert to solve your wrong-fuelling problem. That’s fine and shows you have taken our suggestion seriously. Now I will tell you to do one thing more – which you may consider out of context at the first sight – go through the details of your car insurance policy. Confused? Let me offer some explanation.

Insurance Claims

In majority of wrong-fuelling cases, simple fuel recovery will be enough to get your vehicle back on the road. Some insurance policies provide coverage of wrong fuel drain-out but you may not need it as costs incurred by the motorists in most of such cases even don’t come closer to the policy excess.

However, sometimes further works like thorough investigation and repairing/replacement become a necessity to sort out the issues. In that case, go to the section of ‘Accidental Damage’ coverage. However, that coverage is included in the insurance policy if only it is of comprehensive nature. Most of the insurance policies cover engine damage but not all.

Monitor condition of your vehicle for a few weeks following fuel drain-out

After fuel drain out is completed and your car is back on the road, you need to monitor it for several weeks to ensure that it is working perfectly. If the vehicle is making erratic sound, does not show signs of improvement or behaves abnormally, you need to get those problems inspected properly. I would again suggest that you should consult an expert working at a reputed wrong fuel removal company instead of consulting with a mechanic or a local dealer.

There may be some problems with a component or more in the fuel system of the vehicle. Whatever it is, you will get authentic advice from a specialist who is most likely to demand a nominal fee for consultation.
