This really was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was rather dead up to now, and Brian and I were sitting perusing a number of old magazines. That was a rare peaceful time. It was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped! The person on the opposite end explained: "I've completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel Meanwood in error". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, arriving less than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. As we were coming back to the office we spotted two young women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much 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:

  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.
