Almost all over the world wrong fuelling is a common mistake these days, people with rental cars or people changing their vehicles usually make this kind of a mess. According to one report, every year 150,000 people fill their fuel tanks with the wrong fuel, which means that every 3 seconds there will be one person in such a bad condition.
So if you are suffering from this busy phase, unfortunately, do not feel bad about yourself because there are others who are facing the same problem. Here we are going to tell you about the wrong refuelling features and how to avoid bad refuelling in the vehicle.
There are so many reasons to easily distract a person in modern days, be it your busy working hours or some other worries and pressures that you accidentally take the wrong fuel pump and start filling up with petrol in diesel fuel tank. Most people realize their mistake immediately, while others know it when their vehicles tell them what they did a few minutes ago.
Not only is diesel fuel, but it also acts as a lubricating agent for engine components and in the event of incorrect filling of petrol in the diesel tank, the petrol will immediately start diluting the diesel. Diesel loses its thickness and this thin dilute contaminated fuel flows small metal particles from the fuel tank towards the diesel tank, fuel pipe, and fuel pump and vehicle engine. There these particles not only cause faults in the engine but also start destroying small engine parts.
If you fill petrol in the diesel tank mistakenly, you may encounter unusual and excessive smoke from the engine and exhaust pipes or in some cases the vehicle will malfunction and stop working. Now, the main question that comes to your mind is what to do, but now it is too late.
It is recommended not to drive your vehicle if you accidentally refuel your vehicle and never turn on your vehicle engine. It starts pumping contaminated fuel towards the engine and causes a major disaster. However, if you do not drive or turn on your engine, your vehicle will be in perfect working condition after running out of contaminated fuel.
It is very difficult to fill petrol incorrectly in diesel engines as the tip of the petrol pump is thicker than the neck of the fuel tank. It is therefore difficult to fit or fit a filler nozzle in the neck of the tanks. But when you have a bad time, yes you can easily fill up the diesel in petrol tank.
Diesel is heavier than gasoline and when you accidentally fill your petrol tank with diesel, it not only condenses the petrol but also gives fuel to pass through the fuel injector. If you fill the petrol tank with a large amount of diesel, it is difficult to start driving. If you fill the petrol tank with a small amount of diesel, you will experience noisy engines, excessive smoke and shaking.
Unfortunately, if you are a victim of wrong fuelling, it is recommended not to start your vehicle or try to turn on your engine. It contains contaminated fuel in the fuel tank and you can get out of this odd situation by refuelling with your fuel tank.
If you sadly start driving your vehicle, you will probably get into deep trouble. Avoid this problem by stopping your car immediately or pushing it toward the road and call the fuel drain assistance. Keep in mind that no insurance company will cover you for this problem because it is not in the policy to cover defects like yours.
