Wrong Fuel in Car Stockbury - Petrol in Diesel Car Stockbury

Now I'm not overly enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely roast made for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he put the incorrect petrol in his Stockbury. He was only nearby therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused harm by simply starting it?" I determined that truth be told there should not be any problems and that I'd personally get the fuel drained quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another contented motorist had the ability to continue on his trip with no bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make working on weekends that little better for me personally!

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.
