Wrong Fuel in Car Little London - Petrol in Diesel Car Little London

It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Little London hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so stressed. Yet another job well done in my mind!

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.

• 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.
