Finally we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Antrim and filled petrol in her diesel gorgeous Ford Focus ST rental car. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!"

Wrong Fuel in Car Antrim - Antrim Misfuelling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel light green BMW in Antrim. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural road on the way to visit her family. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only purchased it a short while ago when my previous car, which I owned for more than twenty five years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful County Antrim woman!

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about sunrise and noone was stirring. It was quite uneventful up to now, and me and John were loafing about looking through a couple of old magazines. That was a rare restful moment in County Antrim. Actually it was that tranquil that when the phone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end told me: "I've completed my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in the blue Volvo by mistake". I got him to inform us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Antrim not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. While we were returning home we saw two young ladies at the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, 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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
