Wrong Fuel in Car Boston Spa - Petrol in Diesel Car Boston Spa

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel Boston Spa. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up on a rural lane on the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just purchased it a few days back right after my former car, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful woman!

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 anywhere in West Yorkshire to 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.
