Wrong Fuel in Car Beltinge - Petrol in Diesel Car Beltinge
A man who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel Beltinge phoned us for help at the Shell petrol station. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful way to start to our vacation." It was no hassle in any way for our engineer to go and perform the fuel drain. We hope they had a good vacation.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Beltinge - Fuel Rescue Beltinge
Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel Beltinge. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days ago because my old one, which I'd owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious woman!

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
