James and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Berkeley Heath and put petrol in her diesel faithful Ford rental. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen.

Wrong Fuel Assist Berkeley Heath - Wrong Fuel in Car Berkeley Heath

I appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking on my day off and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young family who were on holiday in Berkeley Heath. They had stopped after putting diesel in their shiny Dodge Colt, and they were about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place continuously in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Berkeley Heath

I'm not ever overly enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a superb lunch made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he had filled the wrong fuel in his metallic green Daewoo Leganza. He was situated in Berkeley Heath hence I arrived there quickly. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any kind of harm simply by starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that also I'd drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then one more satisfied client had the ability to carry on with their ride without the hassle. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make carrying out work on weekends in Gloucestershire just that tiny bit less painful to me!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was pretty uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were loafing around perusing a number of old articles. It was an uncommon tranquil hour in Gloucestershire. It was in fact that relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel apple green Kia Spectra5 by mistake". I told him to let us know where exactly the car was and we set off, arriving in Berkeley Heath no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were returning to base we saw two women on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
