Wrong Fuel in Car Ottinge - Petrol in Diesel Car Ottinge

It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's footy, ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ottinge lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Another job well done in my opinion!

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.

  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.
