Yes, you may seek compensation if the fuel station employee negligently filled diesel in a petrol vehicle, causing damage and inconvenience. Preserve all evidence including fuel receipts, repair bills, towing/transport charges, workshop reports, photographs and any communication with the fuel station.
You should first issue a legal notice to the fuel station demanding reimbursement of actual losses and compensation for mental agony and inconvenience caused to your family, particularly considering the presence of senior citizens during travel. If the matter is not resolved, you may file a complaint before the Consumer Commission for deficiency in service and negligence. The amount of compensation awarded will depend upon the evidence produced, actual losses suffered and the facts of the case. Documentary proof of repair expenses and consequential losses will significantly strengthen your claim.
