Wrong Fuel in Car Hunslet - Petrol in Diesel Car Hunslet

A man phoned us from his Hunslet where he had broken down on the bustling road. "I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car and I soon learned all about it a couple of miles along the road!" Luckily we were in a position to get out to him in a fairly short time, bearing in mind the fact it was rush-hour, and he was soon back behind the wheel.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hunslet - Fuel Rescue Hunslet

It was about 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting commenting on the recent footy results, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station and put petrol in a diesel Hunslet hire car. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and less stressed. One more job done well in my books!

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.
