It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue Alfa Romeo164 hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in Neath Port Talbot well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel in Car Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath - Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath Misfuelling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was off to assist an old sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Seat Toledo in Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I got to the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd just bought it a few days back when my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Neath Port Talbot woman!

I'd had a terrific day golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath. They'd conked out after filling diesel in their faithful BMW X6, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in Neath Port Talbot and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath - Petrol in Diesel Car Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath

We fairly recently got a phone call about a man who put the wrong fuel in his well-used Cadillac Brougham in Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the problem up until I conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy due to both how quick you were and your price". Obviously we got there promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the motorist was fuming, but was satisfied afterwards.

A motorist employed in Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath contacted us after she tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel khaki green BMW M3 and, like many people before her, thought that she would be able to simply top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved inside an hour whilst she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you fixed my 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 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.
