Hungarian drivers irate after Shell pumps filled with wrong fuel

Angry car drivers in Hungary took to social media Tuesday after a petrol station run by oil giant Shell admitted that pumps at one of their Budapest stations had been filled with the wrong fuel.

The firm said it was investigating the incident, which happened last Friday, and advised affected drivers to its customer help department. Filling a car with the wrong fuel can cause substantial damage to its engine. 

Since Shell‘s admission over 500 people have posted angry complaints under Monday‘s Facebook statement, with many demanding financial compensation.
