Wrong Fuel in Car Hinchliffe Mill - Petrol in Diesel Car Hinchliffe Mill
I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a young couple on vacation. They had conked out after putting diesel into their Hinchliffe Mill, and they were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this happens on daily basis and that it is nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:

- 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.
