Wrong Fuel in Car Mytholm - Petrol in Diesel Car Mytholm
It truly was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and nobody was about. It had become fairly dead so far, and John and I were sitting around looking at a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful hour. Actually it was in fact that calm that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer said: "I have only just completed my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel Mytholm". I asked him to let us know exactly where he was located and we hit the road, ending up not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were going back to base we saw two girls on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

- 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.
