I'd had a terrific day fishing during the weekend and felt delighted the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Spen Green. They had stopped after adding petrol in their teal Mercedes SL65 AMG, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled as I listened to the woman berating her man for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Cheshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Spen Green

We a few weeks ago had a phone call about a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his grass green Cadillac Catera in Spen Green. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I couldn't believe how speedy you were in getting a fuel drainer out to help me when I stupidly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Of course we got there promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was grinning his face off afterwards.

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.
