What to do if you've put the wrong fuel in your car
You're not alone. It's estimated that at least 150,000 drivers put the wrong fuel in their car each year – one every three and a half minutes!
And the scale of the problem has been getting bigger too, especially over the last five years with growth in diesel car sales – modern diesels are so quiet it's easy to forget you're driving one, particularly if it's a second family car or hire car.
But if you don't realise the wrong fuel is in the tank and drive off, the car could overheat and will inevitably break down. Depending on how much fuel has been drawn into the engine, you could end up with a £5,000 repair bill, which could come out of your own pocket if your insurer refuses to accept your claim
The extent of the damage caused by putting the wrong fuel in your car can vary depending on how much of it enters the system. To minimize damage, the engine should not be started; draining the fuel tank (which costs anything from £200 to £500) will then help to restore the vehicle.
