Wrong Fuel in Car Ridgeway - Petrol in Diesel Car Ridgeway

I am not ever that excited about carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had just come away from the family filled with a fantastic lunch made for us by the wife, and I was off to assist a guy who put the incorrect petrol in his red Alfa Romeo Spider. He was only in Ridgeway hence I was on scene quickly. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created some harm because of starting it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and also I'd personally remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased client had the ability to continue their ride without the need for hassle. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Newport just that little bit easier for me personally!

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.
