It was around 8 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station and filled petrol in a diesel Addington rental car. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
