Misfuelling is a common problem for lots of different organisations. Putting petrol in a diesel car has been a problem for the Suffolk Police Force, with over £10,000 worth of damage being caused as a consequence over the past 5 years.

“Unfortunately, even police officers and staff are prone to making mistakes such as this and it is down to human error,” said a Suffolk police spokeswoman.

Norfolk Police have been having a similar problem when they announced earlier this year that blundering police officers had cost over £30,000 in the last six years by misfuelling. The largest amount was during 2007-08 when the repair bill for repairing vehicles damaged by mis-fuelling topped £8,000.
