What to do if you misfuel

It's estimated that at least 150,000 drivers put the wrong fuel in their car each year – one every three and a half minutes!

And the scale of the problem has been getting bigger too, especially over the last five years with growth in diesel car sales – modern diesels are so quiet it's easy to forget you're driving one, particularly if it's a second family car or hire car.

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car, don't turn on the ignition or start the engine as this will circulate the contaminated fuel and increase the risk of damage.

Of over 1800 consumers surveyed by the Good Garage Scheme, 51% said they or someone they knew had put the wrong type of fuel in a car.

It is very easy to do, especially when sharing cars within a family or using a different car for business travel.

3-In-1 Insurance is now available for less than £2.50 per month and not only covers you for a misfuelling mishap but also includes MOT and Alloy Wheel Insurance cover.
