Wrong Fuel in Car Kettlethorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Kettlethorpe

It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kettlethorpe rental. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A fuel drain well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel in Car Kettlethorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Kettlethorpe

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were off to help an older sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kettlethorpe. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded along a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd just bought it a short while back because my old car, which I owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious lady!

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.
