Wrong Fuel in Car Lingbob - Petrol in Diesel Car Lingbob

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my off day and felt delighted the following working day as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation. They had broken down after filling diesel into their Lingbob, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens regularly and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
