This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30am and nobody was about. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and Mark and I were loafing around perusing several old papers. That was a rare calm time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was so tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone explained: "I have completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel metallic green Renault Twingo". I told him to inform us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, ending up in Long Wittenham an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car.

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 refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT 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 misfueled 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.
