Wrong Fuel in Car Black Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Black Moor

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Tuesday and we were en route to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Black Moor. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I had only purchased it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I'd owned for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious lady!

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.
