This video is currently unavailable

In this video, we see that if during refuelling you accidentally put a different type of fuel into the tank than what your vehicle requires, you must completely empty it to avoid serious damage to the fuel system. Obtain containers large enough to transfer the fuel from the tank and a manual fuel transfer pump, easily found in well-stocked hardware stores or online.

Open the fuel cap, insert the suction tube inside, and place the delivery tube into the collection container, then start operating the pump until completely empty. Very important: do not start the vehicle!

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
