Misfuelling is a remarkably common mistake that almost every driver or equipment operator encounters at some point. Whether it involves a family car, a commercial fleet vehicle, a generator, or agricultural machinery, putting the wrong fuel into a tank can quickly compromise the lifespan of an engine.

What to Do If You've Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Tank

To minimize mechanical harm before our team arrives, keep these vital steps in mind:

1. Leave the ignition off: Do not insert the key, turn the ignition, or press the engine start button.
2. Remain in a safe location: If you are at a petrol station, notify forecourt staff and leave the vehicle stationary.
