What to Do if the Wrong Fuel Is Added
If the wrong fuel has been put into the vehicle, the safest step is to stop and avoid starting the engine. Continuing to drive can spread contaminated fuel through the system. Arranging professional recovery allows the fuel to be removed safely and the system checked before refuelling with the correct type.
