Wrong Fuel in Car Lumbutts - Petrol in Diesel Car Lumbutts

It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the recent rugby results, ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Lumbutts lease car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and not so anxious. Yet another job done well in my books!

A person phoned us from his residence on a close. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Lumbutts) is not starting and is making dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.

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.
