Recent Wrong Fuel Drains around Gun Green

A number of the typical circumstances we hear from our employees in Gun Green:

Wrong Fuel in Car Gun Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Gun Green

It was after five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting there discussing the recent rugby, waiting around for the 8th call to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Gun Green lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could find her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction well done in my mind!

A gentleman who had put unleaded in his diesel Gun Green contacted us for help at the Murco petrol station. He thought it would be good to top up before going on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great beginning to our vacation." It was certainly no problem whatsoever for our fuel drainer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their getaway.

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 refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT 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 anywhere in Kent to assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled 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.
