Wrong Fuel Doctor Shelley - Fuel Rescue Shelley

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and felt contented with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young family vacationing. They conked out after filling petrol in their Shelley, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this goes on frequently and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would tell me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.

A woman working nearby contacted us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel Shelley and, like many before her, thought that she could simply fill the tank with diesel and it would run okay. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired in one hour whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my vehicle."
