Default Wrong Fuel
Have had a Blonde moment ..
Needed fuel tonite and was day dreaming at the bowser and have inadvertently put just over 20 Litres of U/L 91 into my tank..

Did'nt realise till i checked the fuel docket at home
Is better to drain the tank of the wrong fuel
And top up again with 98
Have only travelled 5km's with the wrong fuel in tank

If i leave the fuel in the tank wot are the ramafication's

Thanks in advance
Josh

take it easy on your car, buy a bottle of octane booster from your local car store.
