Wrong Fuel in Car Northorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Northorpe

A person called us to say he piped petrol into his diesel Northorpe. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer about fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to have the task properly completed.

This was the graveyard shift. It was about 3:30am and nobody was around. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Paul were sitting around perusing several old papers. This was an uncommon peaceful moment. It was in fact so quiet that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I just finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a Northorpe by mistake". I told him to let us know where the vehicle was and we left, getting to him only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. While we were coming back home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new couple vacationing. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Northorpe, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the girl telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens quite frequently and that it's nothing to fret about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
