Most drivers, almost daily, we visit a gas station to refuel our car. But have you ever thought about what can happen if we fill the car tank with the wrong fuel;
In detail the possibilities that may arise:
Refueling with unleaded petrol instead of super petrol
If you put unleaded petrol in the tank instead of super, there is no particular problem. But it would be good, once we realize the mistake to stop in time and continue with super.
Refueling with Super petrol instead of unleaded petrol
No problem! The new super gasolines do not contain lead to destroy the "l" sensor of the catalyst. Nevertheless, and in this case it would be good, once we realize the mistake to stop in time and continue with unleaded.
Refueling with petrol instead of diesel
If you fill up with very few liters of petrol instead of diesel, no problem just stop and continue with diesel. But if you have filled up with gas, do not start the engine.
Refueling with diesel instead of gasoline
Do not start the engine, all involved parts must first be cleaned (tank, petrol filter etc.). Call roadside assistance immediately and go to the workshop.
End, it is worth noting that catalytic converter cars using unleaded have a smaller tank opening and it is almost impossible to fit the diesel or super pump nozzle, since it is bigger. Of course if the car is moving with super, the diesel or unleaded oil pump can fit into the tank mouth. The color of unleaded is light green, of super red while diesel dark brown.
