Wrong Fuel in Car DL8 Postcode - Hornby Misfuelling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Volvo740 in Hornby. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a week back after my old one, which I'd had for about twenty years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a precious North Yorkshire lady!

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather uneventful so far, and Ray and I were relaxing reading a few old papers. That was a rare quiet moment in North Yorkshire. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment the telephone rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end said: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel aunt's Honda CR-V in error". We got him to let us know exactly where the car was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Hornby less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were coming back to the office we saw two young ladies at the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, much 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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfuelled 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.
