Wrong Fuel in Car Harecroft - Petrol in Diesel Car Harecroft
This was exactly the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing perusing a couple of old papers. That was a rare tranquil time. It was so peaceful that the moment the phone rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Harecroft". We asked him to inform us exactly where the car was and we set off, getting to him no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were going back to the office we found two girls at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. So we got out to help them change it, to their delight.

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:
- 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.

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.
- 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.
- 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.

A gentleman called us from his Harecroft where he had ground to a halt on the busy street. "I accidentally put petrol in my diesel car and I shortly found out all about it several miles down the road!" Thankfully we were in a position to have an fuel drainer out to him in a fairly quick time, bearing in mind the traffic, and he was soon back behind the wheel.
