Wrong Fuel in Car Red Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Red Hill

A gentleman contacted us from his home on a road. He said, "My car (a Red Hill) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.

This was the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was about. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were loafing around browsing a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon peaceful hour. Actually it was that calm that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice told me: "I completed my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the Red Hill by mistake". We told him to inform us where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were coming back to the depot we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
