Misfuel recoveries in Kaikoura
Yuki and her partner — tourists from Japan doing a South Island road trip — hired a diesel CR-V in Christchurch and filled it with petrol at the Kaikōura Z, unaware the car was a diesel. They drove about a kilometre before the CR-V started shaking and the engine warning light came on. EEK towed the CR-V to the workshop and the manufacturer-spec misfuel recovery was completed the following morning. The couple continued their road trip with no lasting damage to the vehicle.
“We didn't know New Zealand cars could be diesel — in Japan almost all hire cars are petrol. EEK explained everything very clearly.”
