Oh
that’s a disaster. Most probably you lost your concentration for a few seconds.
You suddenly got busy with pondering over other matters. Finally when you look
down, you immediately realize that it is not green pipe in your hand. In other
word, you have loaded your car tank with diesel fuel. You thump on the panic
button and stand perplexed. You get restless and are also worried about whether
wrong fuelling will damage your car.
Calm
down and take a deep breath. You can dial a reliable wrong fuel drainer but
before that, why not try to sort things out on your own?

Once
you have pumped wrong fuel into caravan, the first step is to remove the diesel
pipe from the car as soon as you realize your mistake. Though you have to drain
out the wrong fuel, you have to pay for it. So there is no logic of adding more
to your expenses. First check how much you have loaded. In most of the cases, a
small amount won’t do any harm to your vehicle, provided you have not driven it
after that and will use the correct fuel to fill up the car tank to the brim.

3 liter guide is a popular rule of thumb in this regards! This points out to a
roughly figure of 5-8% of any average size fuel tank. If you have pumped in
more than 3 liter, don’t start the engine and you need to completely flush out
the wrong fuel. If you have filled up your tank with less than 3 liters of
wrong fuel, add correct fuel until it is completely full. Once done, hit the
road as usual. However, in case your car manufacturer has suggested otherwise, you
have to stop and follow the instructions, many new cars have sensitive fuel and emission sensors which could cause you further problems, best advise is do not drive car with wrong fuel in it.

rule of thumb does not hold good for the small cars. If you own a small car or a
new model, even 3 liters will be enough to cause problems. In that case, hiring
