Now I am not actually overly excited about working on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed home filled with a superb dinner cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a fellow because he put the wrong fuel in his wife's Austin Mini. He was located in Brampton Bryan thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused damage by running it?" I stated truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then one more contented motorist was able to carry on with their journey without any subsequent bother. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make working on Sundays in Herefordshire just a tiny bit less painful for me!

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.
