What is the compensation standard for wrong fuel refueling at gas stations?
1 Answers
If the gas station's negligence leads to wrong fuel refueling, the gas station should theoretically be responsible for compensating for the losses caused to the vehicle. The losses include the costs of cleaning and replacing vehicle components, as well as operational losses incurred by the vehicle owner. After calculating the relevant losses, a compensation claim can be made to the gas station. Below are the relevant details: 1. Negotiation: If it is the first time that the wrong fuel grade has been added and the vehicle has not been driven after refueling, the issue is not significant. You can negotiate with the gas station and choose to have the fuel pumped out at a repair shop, clean the fuel tank, and then refuel. 2. Impact of wrong fuel refueling: If there was previously some 95-grade fuel left in the tank and 92-grade fuel was mistakenly added, this situation is equivalent to mixing two different grades of fuel. Mixing different grades of gasoline in the short term will not cause significant harm to the vehicle, but long-term mixing of different grades of gasoline will affect the lifespan of the vehicle's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs.
