Wrong Fuel in Car Richmond Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Richmond Hill

I'm certainly not excessively interested in carrying out work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just left the wife and kids after a lovely dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his Richmond Hill. He was located nearby and so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any problems simply by starting it?" I stated that there should not be any kind of harm and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and one more happy customer was able to continue on his trip without any hassle. The guy did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make working on Sundays that little bit easier for me!

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.
