Putting petrol into a diesel car can be expensive
Putting petrol into a diesel car tank can be one of the most expensive accidents that you ever have when it comes to your car. While many drivers are concerned about their insurance premiums due to age factors, location factors, accident histories, or citation histories, the truth is that misfuelling can be just as damaging to an insurance premium.
Sadly, a higher insurance premium is not the only cost of misfuelling, however, as there are quite a few more expenses that are associated with the common but preventable mistake. The scenario gets even worse if you start the engine before you realize your mistake, because then your entire ignition and fueling system may be compromised by the incident, resulting in a repair bill that can easily cost a few hundred to thousands of pounds to repair.
Outside of these costs, you likely will also need to pay to have your car towed to a repair shop once you realize your mistake since driving any distance causes immediate damage. Add in the fact that along with any repairs your engine will also need to be drained and you are looking at a very expensive mistake that will make any misfueling prevention device start to look good.
On average, it costs about six thousand Euros to repair a diesel car after it has been filled with petrol, which is a mistake that on an older vehicle may outweigh the value of the vehicle. Save yourself from this potential mistake by taking some time to look at what is available on the market to prevent this costly accident from occurring.
