It was before six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hickstead and put petrol in her diesel dark blue Vauxhall Monaro rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to her rather quickly.

Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hickstead

I am not ever that interested in doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just left the family after a magnificent lunch cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow after he had put the wrong fuel in his aunt's Fiat Punto. He was situated in Hickstead and so I arrived with him soon. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused some problems as a result of driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and then another satisfied client had the ability to carry on with their trip without the bother. The guy did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on weekends in West Sussex a little bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hickstead - Fuel Rescue Hickstead

This was exactly the night shift. It was about sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Ray were sitting about perusing some old papers. This was a rare peaceful hour in West Sussex. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Mitsubishi Precis". I got him to tell us just where the car was located and we headed out, ending up in Hickstead under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thanks for coming out so fast. While we were going back home we noticed two ladies on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, 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 refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT 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 misfueled 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.
