Wrong Fuel in Car Gib Heath - Petrol in Diesel Car Gib Heath

It was about 6 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's football results, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station and filled petrol in a diesel Gib Heath rental in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more job done well in my mind!

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.

    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
