Wrong Fuel in Car Swillington - Petrol in Diesel Car Swillington

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel Swillington. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a backwater road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel as I had only just acquired it a short while ago when my former one, which I had owned for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious woman!

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 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.
