Wrong Fuel in Car Rothwell Haigh - Petrol in Diesel Car Rothwell Haigh

I appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Rothwell Haigh, and were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.

This was what is called the night shift. It was about sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and John were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon restful time. Actually it was indeed that quiet that when the phone eventually rang I leaped! The voice said: "I have concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my Rothwell Haigh by mistake". We got him to tell us where exactly he was and we headed out, arriving not as much as an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back to base we noticed two girls on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.
