We will pay:
If your car is subject
to misfuelling during the period of insurance we will cover:
- draining and flushing the fuel tank on site using a specialist roadside vehicle
- recovery of the car, the driver and up to 6 passengers to the nearest repairer to
drain and flush the fuel tank
- replenishing the fuel tank with 10 litres of the correct fuel up to a maximum value
of £250 per claim.
You will be responsible for paying any costs in excess of £250 per
claim
- any claim up to a maximum of £250 in any one year
We will not pay:
- for mechanical or component damage to your car whether or not caused as a result of misfuelling or the cost of hiring an alternative vehicle
in the event mechanical or component damage is sustained;
- any claim where the misfuelling
occurs outside of the UK;
- any claim for misfuelling if it
occurs within 14 days of the start date of the policy (except where your policy has renewed with us);
- for fuel, other than the 10 litres of correct fuel to replenish the fuel tank after
draining and flushing out the contaminated fuel;
- for any claim resulting from foreign matter entering the fuel system except for
diesel or petroleum;
- any expenses that are not supported by original receipts and a written report from
the specialist who drained or recovered the car;
- for loss of use of your
car.
If you do not keep
to these conditions we
may cancel this section, refuse any claim or withdraw from any current claim.
