It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Killough and filled petrol in a diesel red Fiat 500 rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in County Down well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Killough - Killough Misfuelling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to help an elder woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel uncle's Volvo940 in Killough. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane en route to see her godchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only just got it a short while ago when my previous car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, finally died". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful County Down lady!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 3am and noone was around. It had been quite dead so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing some old papers. That was an unusual tranquil time in County Down. It was indeed so quiet that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I've just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a white Suzuki Kizashi by mistake". We told him to let us know where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Killough less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor. He said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back to the depot we noticed two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we got out 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.
