It was just after eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Mossley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Kia Optima rental. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Mossley - Mossley Misfuelling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and I was on the way to help an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Volvo S40 in Mossley. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded in a country road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just purchased it a week back right after my former one, which I'd used for about twenty years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Greater Manchester woman!

I had appreciated a wonderful day cycling on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were on vacation in Mossley. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their new-shape Isuzu i-350, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Mossley - Petrol in Diesel Car Mossley

I am not actually excessively interested in working on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the family following a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his mate's Peugeot 505. He was somewhere in Mossley so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused some harm simply by driving it?" I explained generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and yet another satisfied motorist could continue his ride with no fuss. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes operating on weekends in Greater Manchester just a little bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mossley - Fuel Rescue Mossley

It truly was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around dawn and nobody was around. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Ray were sitting around looking at several old newspapers. This was an uncommon restful hour in Greater Manchester. Actually it was that calm that the instant the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person told me: "I've only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the worse for wear BMW 750 by mistake". We instructed him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Mossley less than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were returning home we saw two women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over 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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
