Engaging in mistakes such as speeding, concentrating on various things and letting the autopilot do it all particularly when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.

Besides incorrect fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you use as a propellant.

Wrong Fuel in Car Longley - Petrol in Diesel Car Longley

A woman with her youngsters in her diesel Longley had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She phoned us crying and really worried as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be okay and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Longley - Fuel Rescue Longley

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next day as I headed out to assist a new family who were holidaying. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their Longley, and they were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her man for being so silly. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem occurs constantly and that it's nothing to stress about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
