Wrong Fuel in Car Bakers Cross - Petrol in Diesel Car Bakers Cross

A customer with her children in her diesel Bakers Cross had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all would be fine and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bakers Cross - Fuel Rescue Bakers Cross

It was about five pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station and put petrol in her diesel Bakers Cross rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Yet another job well done in my opinion!

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.

  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.
