Wrong Fuel in Car Thorncliff - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorncliff

It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting commenting on the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage and filled petrol in her diesel Thorncliff rental by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. Another fuel drain done well in my books!

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it runs on diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you find yourself in a situation of doubt.

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.

    • 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.

A motorist living nearby called us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office.

The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside an hour or so while she was at work. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you sorted my vehicle."
