This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather quiet so far, and John and I were loafing about browsing a number of old newspapers. That was a rare peaceful time in County Down. Actually it was that quiet that the instant my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end told me: "I've completed my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel silver Dodge Challenger". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was located and we left, reaching him in Ballyhornan no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we found two girls at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
