Wrong Fuel in Car Throwley - Petrol in Diesel Car Throwley

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was about. It had been fairly uneventful so far, and Paul and I were sitting around perusing some old articles. That was an unusual tranquil moment. It was that peaceful that the moment the telephone rang I leaped! The person told me: "I ended my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Throwley". I asked him to inform us where exactly the car was and we set off, reaching him not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were going back to the office we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
