    The charge is exactly 1655.87... including the tow fee.

    Cost of potentially totaling the car: $0.
    Cost of mis-fueling: $1655.87.

    Well, we all know what to do next time we do some minor internal or engine damage to a hire car now.

    Great description on that video!

    "Dad ran out of fuel with the Petrol powered Polo. He decided to fill the car up with a leftover mixture that I drained from there other car ( Diesel engine ) when Mom filled that tank with Petrol."
