Wrong Fuel in Car Shorne West - Petrol in Diesel Car Shorne West

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a new couple holidaying. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Shorne West, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens quite frequently and that it's actually nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. Anyway, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would 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 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 and 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.
