It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the recent sports, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Charlton and put petrol in her diesel bright red Mazda MX-5 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car BA4 Postcode - Charlton Misfuelling

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and we were on my way to assist an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel new-shape Cadillac Sixty Special in Charlton. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just bought it a couple of days ago when my former car, which I used for over thirty years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Charlton - Petrol in Diesel Car Charlton

Now I'm not ever overly inclined to working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a magnificent Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was off to deal with a fellow who put the wrong fuel in his apricot Peugeot Boxer. He was only in Charlton and so I arrived with him soon. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused harm by driving it?" I determined that generally there should not be damage and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and another delighted client had the ability to continue on their ride without any bother. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays in Somerset just that small bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
