It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Coed-y-caerau and put petrol in her diesel husband's Seat Alhumbra hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle!

Wrong Fuel in Car Coed-y-caerau - Petrol in Diesel Car Coed-y-caerau

I'm not ever too enthusiastic about running weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a lovely roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man who filled the wrong fuel in his buff Land Rover Defender 90. He was stationed in Coed-y-caerau so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted problems because of driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so another delighted client was able to carry on with their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in Newport a little less painful for me personally!

A woman from Coed-y-caerau with her kids in her diesel clean white Mitsubishi Lancer had put £20 of petrol at the filling station.

We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the children in the back."

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.
