Wrong Fuel in Car Snatchwood - Petrol in Diesel Car Snatchwood

Now I'm not necessarily overly inclined to carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just left home after a magnificent lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman who had filled the incorrect fuel in his work's Range Rover. He was situated in Snatchwood thus it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on some damage as a result of starting it?" I stated there should not be damage and also that I would remove the fuel immediately. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with their journey with no hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that makes operating on weekends in Torfaen a little bit better to me!

We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
