Contrary to the idea of many people, recovering wrong fuel is not always a major issue but there are other vital factors. The system that is used to recover the contaminated fuel from a car’s fuel tank, not only consists ladling out the fuel. In order for it to be truly effective , it also includes total flush-out of the wrong fuel.

Experts have noted that even after the wrong type of fuel is recovered from the fuel tank, some residue of it remains in the car engine or other parts that are placed near the fuel line. For this reason, a complete recovery is very much important. Unfortunately, many wrong fuel recovery agencies do not offer complete fuel recovery and cleaning. Many motorists, who do not have much idea about fuel recovery and full cleaning, stay happy only if they are able to use their cars quickly. But the problem is not rooted out and can cause further trouble.

A large majority of wrong-fuelling cases require only flush-out / total drainage ; whereas the rest of the cases require extensive checking to find faults and then repairing. In some cases where the damage is severe, you may have to replace some parts of the car . In very rare cases, damages are so extensive that you are compelled to replace your engine.

Several myths regarding mis-fuelling have been established. A example is the belief that wrong fuelling only means putting petrol in diesel tank and not the other way around. The truth is that this type of mistake is the most prevalent the opposite also happens sometimes. Some motorists also believe that if you drive with wrong fuel mixture, the engine will be damaged beyond repair. But while some damage is done from wrong fuelling, they can be repaired.
