This really was the night shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It was quite quiet until now, and me and Brian were loafing looking at a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in Essex. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist explained: "I've only just finished my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the beloved VW Scirocco by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Hobbs Cross an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said many thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we stopped and helped them 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.
