Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Vehicle? Don’t Panic – Just Don’t Start the Engine!
Accidentally added petrol to a diesel car—or diesel to a petrol engine? You’re not alone. It’s a common mistake, but the most important thing is to avoid starting the engine. Running the engine with the wrong fuel can cause serious and expensive damage to components like the fuel pump, injectors, and even the engine itself.
At Car Recovery Southampton, we provide expert wrong fuel removal services designed to protect your vehicle and get you back on the road safely—with minimal hassle.
