It was around ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Straw and put the wrong fuel in a diesel new Vauxhall Corsa rental car in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another job in County Derry well done in my opinion!

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to help an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel mint green Ford Escort in Straw. She told us that she had left the filling station and was broken down along a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd only got it a week back right after my previous car, which I had used for over twenty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely County Derry lady!

Testimonies from our own Straw mechanics:
Wrong Fuel in Car Straw - Petrol in Diesel Car Straw
We fairly recently had a phone call about a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his clean white BMW 530 in Straw. He had broken down on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the dilemma until it stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was impressed by both your call-out time and your charges". Needless to say we showed up punctually and purged the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the motorist was scowling, but was very happy when we finished.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Straw - Fuel Rescue Straw
A driver from Straw with a full car of children in her diesel burgundy red Austin Mini Cooper S had put £20 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be up and running quickly. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
