A court in La Plata, Argentina, has ordered a service station to pay more than 13 million pesos to a driver following a fueling error. The incident, which occurred in 2016, involved staff mistakenly filling a diesel vehicle with gasoline, causing significant damage to the fuel injection pump, injectors, computer module, and turbocharger.

After a decade of legal proceedings, Judge María Cecilia Valeros De Córica ruled that the company must indemnify the owner for 13,688,000 pesos plus interest to cover repair costs.
