This really was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and nobody was stirring. It was fairly dead up to now, and me and John were sitting reading through several old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment. It was that quiet that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the phone said: "I finished my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel Stanningley in error". We told him to let us know just where he was and we left, reaching him less than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thank you for arriving so fast. While we were returning home we saw two girls at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become rather dead thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting around perusing a few old newspapers. This was a rare quiet hour. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone stated: "I have just ended my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a Stanningley in error". We told him to let us know where the car was and we set off, arriving under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were going back home we found two ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.
