Wrong Fuel Assist Hungerford - Wrong Fuel in Car Hungerford

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family who were vacationing in Hungerford. They had broken down after adding diesel into their cobalt blue Subaru Legacy, and they were around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady berating her spouse for being so daft. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on everyday in Berkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to 3am and noone was around. It was fairly quiet so far, and John and I were sitting around browsing some old articles. This was an unusual calm hour in Berkshire. Actually it was that quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The person said: "I've just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel grey Vauxhall Corsa". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, ending up in Hungerford less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the car. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were coming back home we found two ladies at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.

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.
