It was around 9 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Wibdon and put petrol in a diesel wife's Renault Laguna rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

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.
