It was before six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Kilmore and put petrol in a diesel dad's Volkswagen Golf III lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly.

Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Another job in County Armagh well done in my mind!

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.
