Wrong Fuel in Car Linton - Petrol in Diesel Car Linton

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young couple who were away. They broken down after filling petrol into their Linton, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I listened to the gal berating her husband for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs frequently and that it's nothing at all to worry about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Poor guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances 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.
