Wrong Fuel in Car Leigh - Petrol in Diesel Car Leigh

A woman living nearby phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Leigh and, like many before her, imagined that she could just top up her car with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired in an hour or so whilst she was at work. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you sorted my car."

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and we were off to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel Leigh. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural lane en route to see her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd just acquired it a short while ago right after my former one, which I had had for more than 30 years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely woman!

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:

    • 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.
