Your auto insurance in Renton, WA can step up to help you in a disaster.
It's an easy mistake to make. If you go to the gas station when you're tired, you may be operating on autopilot. It's only when you've clicked the pump back into the socket do you realize that you've put petrol in your car that runs on diesel. Misfuelling your car can be an easy, although costly, error. Fortunately, your auto insurance in Antioch, CA can help!
Filling It UpPutting petrol into a diesel car can potentially erode the lubricant in the engine, and even just driving a short distance can be bad news for your car! If you manage to put diesel into a petrol car, it's not likely to be as dangerous, although it could end up being costly. After all, you may have just filled up your tank with $70 of worthless fuel. How's that for a Monday morning?
What to Do: - The golden rule is: don't drive the car. Ideally, don't even start it. If you've already started and driven the car, there's a risk that you'll have damaged some of the engine, which can be more expensive to fix.
- Calculate the wrong fuel capacity. Always find out what kind of wrong fuel is in your car, as well as how much is in the tank. This will help mechanics to know the extent of the damage possibly caused to your vehicle.
- Call Roadside Assistance. Call your auto insurance to get the Roadside Assistance services out to you promptly. Your insurer can save the day by sending a tow truck out to you to get your car to a mechanic so that you can get back on the road in no time!
