Wrong Fuel in Car Crow Nest - Petrol in Diesel Car Crow Nest

A customer with her kids in her diesel Crow Nest had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She contacted us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car . We told her that all would be fine and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids in the back."

A young lady living nearby called us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel Crow Nest and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she could simply fill up her tank with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within 60 minutes while she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my vehicle."

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 West Yorkshire 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.
