Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car West Clandon

I am not necessarily that keen on working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just departed the family filled with a fantastic roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a man who had filled the incorrect petrol in his light blue Cadillac STS. He was only in West Clandon so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other stuff and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of problems simply by running it?" I said that generally there probably should not be damage and that also I would personally remove the wrong fuel right away. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more contented customer was able to continue on his trip without the fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes working on Sundays in Surrey that little bit less painful to me!

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