Wrong Fuel Assist Iping - Wrong Fuel in Car Iping

I had a fantastic evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was on the way to assist a new family who were on vacation in Iping. They'd broken down after filling diesel into their red BMW 600, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on continuously in West Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
