When it comes to prides of possessions, your car will surely be one of them. It serves you in multiple occasions, taking you to your workplaces and events where you can socialize with your relatives, friends and other acquaintances. A vehicle is a wonderful asset for you and very precious as well. Just imagine what if it becomes an unusable wreck due to presence of contaminated fuel in car tank?

I have my own story to share and you can take a lesson from it. I was returning home after visiting my in-laws in Liverpool, with my wife and two children with me. It was close to 10 at night. After driving two miles, I stopped at a fuel court for tank refilling. I was driving a 10-year old Citroen ZX Diesel Estate powered by diesel. After that, we set off happily. With further a couple of miles down the road, I found the car jerking on the plain surface. We went further another two miles and this time, I told my wife, “I’m not going to take it anymore. Let us find out what has gone wrong with our beloved”.

I noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust apart from bumpy ride. I took the car to a nearby service station. They lifted the bonnet and checked the car to diagnose the problem. And I came in shock to know that my tank was almost full of unleaded PETROL and not DIESEAL. I failed to understand how I could have been so callous. My heart almost stopped beating. I needed early siphoning and checking, which meant I would now have to pay a hefty sum for wrong fuel recovery. Thankfully, the service center got it drained quickly and most efficiently. They really put in great effort to breathe a fresh lease in my car’s life.

And my wallet felt healthy and happy as before!
