It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Roughmoor and filled petrol in a diesel trusty Vauxhall Insignia hire car. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!"

They stopped after inserting diesel in their dirty red Fiat 500, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place constantly in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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 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 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.
