Wrong Fuel in Car Thanington - Petrol in Diesel Car Thanington

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were en route to assist an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Thanington. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel since I had only just bought it a few days back right after my old one, which I owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely lady!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

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.
