It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the footy results, prepared for the next call that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Derrymacash and put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey BMW M Roadster lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in County Armagh done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Derrymacash - Petrol in Diesel Car Derrymacash

I am not necessarily excessively enthusiastic about doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids after a superb roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his mint condition Toyota Solara. He was stationed in Derrymacash so I arrived there before long. As I drove up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any kind of harm as a result of running it?" I said there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus another delighted customer had the ability to continue on their trip without bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make carrying out work on Sundays in County Armagh just a tiny bit better 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 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.
