Wrong Fuel Assist Spilsby - Wrong Fuel in Car Spilsby

I had a perfect day cycling during my day off and felt delighted the next day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Spilsby. They'd stopped after adding petrol into their green VW Tiguan, and were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling off her hubby for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs regularly in Lincolnshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and considered what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Tales from our Spilsby employees:

Wrong Fuel in Car Spilsby - Petrol in Diesel Car Spilsby

I'm not actually very keen on doing work weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids filled with a wonderful roast made for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his father's Volvo240. He was located in Spilsby so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other things and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on some problems simply by running it?" I said there shouldn't be any problems and also that I would get the wrong fuel drained immediately. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another contented customer had the ability to continue his travelling without fuss. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that can make carrying out work on Sundays in Lincolnshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
