What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to help an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Hyundai Entourage in Alltwen. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded along a backwater lane along the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just got it a short while back when my former one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Neath Port Talbot woman!

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.
