It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting talking about the football rankings, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Desertmartin and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean Cadillac Escalade hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen.

Wrong Fuel in Car Desertmartin - Desertmartin Misfuelling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel expensive Renault in Desertmartin. I had been told she had left the filling station and was stranded on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just bought it a short while back when my other one, which I had owned for more than 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious County Derry woman!

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and Ray and I were loafing looking at several old newspapers. That was a rare calm time in County Derry. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the mint green VW Touareg in error". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was and we left, getting to him in Desertmartin less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car. He said many thanks for coming so promptly. While we were coming back to the office we spotted two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we stopped and helped them change it, much 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.
