Wrong Fuel Assist Newton Stacey - Wrong Fuel in Car Newton Stacey

I had a great day fishing during my afternoon off and felt contented the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Newton Stacey. They'd broken down after adding petrol in their trusty VW Jetta, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife berating her man for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens regularly in Hampshire and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.

• 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.
