A customer with a full car of kids in her diesel Preston had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the BP filling station. She contacted us crying and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be back on the road in no time at all.

Wrong Fuel in Car Preston - Petrol in Diesel Car Preston

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and we were on my way to help an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Preston. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and broken down along a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days back after my former car, which I had used for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such 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:

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.
