Wrong Fuel Assist Strathaven - Wrong Fuel in Car Strathaven

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a young couple holidaying in Strathaven. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their dark red Vauxhall Insignia, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I listened to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs on a regular basis in South Lanarkshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever live it down!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfuelled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
