It was around seven pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there talking about the recent football results, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in East Norton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel white Saab rental in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. One more job in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

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.
