Fuel in the water tank or water in the fuel tank: a costly mistake

Confusing the water filler with the fuel filler is a common error among first-time renters of motorhomes and camper vans. If diesel is poured into the fresh water tank, do not turn on the water pump or open taps to avoid system damage. In the opposite case, do not start the engine. Repair costs can exceed €1,500, and insurance typically does not cover this negligence.
