Wrong Fuel Doctor Brunthwaite - Fuel Rescue Brunthwaite

It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports results, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage and filled petrol in her diesel Brunthwaite hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction done well in my books!

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.

A customer employed nearby phoned us after she had tried to get her misfueled car to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel Brunthwaite and, like many people before her, believed that she would be able to basically fill her car with diesel and it would be alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed in 60 minutes while she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."
